Saint John the Valachian, a young Romanian serving in the Ottoman army, refused to convert to Islam despite severe torture. He confessed Christ openly, declaring his faith was his true strength, not earthly power. For his unwavering devotion, he was beheaded in Constantinople around 1662.

Holy Martyr John, pray to God for us! May your courage inspire us to stand firm in our #Faith. Glory to God for his Saints! #OrthodoxSaints #HolyMartyr #Valachian #Prayer #Christian
