Martyr John the Valah, a young Romanian Christian, was captured by Tatars and sold into slavery to a Turkish master. Despite temptations and threats, John refused to convert to Islam, steadfastly holding onto his Christian faith. His master, impressed by John's integrity but angered by his defiance, subjected him to torture. John endured these trials with unwavering faith, praying constantly. Eventually, he was beheaded for his refusal to renounce Christ. His martyrdom inspired many, and his relics became a source of healing.
Holy Martyr John, pray to God for us! #Saints #OrthodoxChristian #Martyr #Prayer #Faith
