A wealthy merchant, John, was betrayed by a jealous companion and falsely accused of conspiring against the Tartar governor. Despite facing brutal torture, John refused to renounce his Christian faith. He was dragged through the streets, beaten mercilessly, and finally beheaded for his unwavering devotion to #Christ.

O Holy Martyr John, intercede for us before God that we may be granted strength to endure trials and remain steadfast in our #Faith. May your example inspire us to live lives pleasing to God and to seek His mercy always. #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Prayer #OrthodoxWay
