Martyr John, a merchant of Trebizond, was betrayed for his faith in Belgorod. Scorned and tortured, he refused to renounce Christ, even as his flesh was torn. Dragged behind a horse until near death, he was finally beheaded. His body, miraculously guarded, shone with light, converting many.
O Holy Martyr John, intercede for us, that we may stand firm in our faith. #SaintJohn #Martyr #OrthodoxFaith #ChristianCourage #Byzantine
