In the bustling port of Cetatea Alba, John, a devout merchant, fearlessly professed his #Faith in Christ before the Tatar governor. Despite brutal torture – being hung, beaten, and dragged behind a horse – John refused to renounce his beliefs. Finally, he was beheaded. His relics, emitting a sweet fragrance, performed miracles, drawing pilgrims seeking healing and solace.

Holy Martyr John, intercede for us before God!
