Martyr John, a merchant known for his honest dealings and deep faith, was betrayed and tortured by the Tatars for refusing to convert from Christianity. He endured horrific abuse, yet his spirit remained unbroken. Dragged behind a horse until his body was torn to pieces, his steadfast belief in Christ shone brightly.

Holy Martyr John, intercede for us that we may have the strength to uphold our faith in times of trial.
