The Martyr John the New of Suceava, a merchant known for his honesty and piety, faced the wrath of a Tatar chieftain in Cetatea Alba. When John refused to renounce his Christian faith for Islam, he was brutally tortured. Beaten, dragged behind a horse, and finally beheaded, John remained steadfast. His body was miraculously preserved, emitting a sweet fragrance and working miracles, leading to his veneration as a great martyr.
Holy Martyr John, intercede with Christ God that our souls may be saved!
