In Bucharest, a young man named John refused to convert to Islam, despite being promised wealth and honor. When threats didn't work, they tortured him relentlessly, hoping to break his spirit. But John stood firm in his faith, declaring Christ as the true God. Enraged, they beheaded him on May 12, 1693. His steadfastness inspired many to remain true to their beliefs.

O, Martyr John, pray to God for us, that we may have the courage to follow Christ.
