Martyr John, a merchant of wealth and piety, faced a cruel test of faith in Belgorod. Refusing to deny Christ for worldly gain, he endured imprisonment, torture, and beatings. Though offered riches to renounce his belief, he remained steadfast. Dragged behind a horse until his body was torn, finally beheaded, he showed unwavering devotion. Even after death, his relics brought healing and miracles.

Holy Martyr John, intercede for us that we may stand firm in our faith amidst trials! #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Martyr #Faith #Prayer
