Martyr John the New, a merchant of Trebizond, was falsely accused of renouncing Christianity by a Venetian merchant in Belgorod. Despite being given the chance to deny Christ, John steadfastly refused. He was brutally tortured – beaten, hung, scourged, and eventually beheaded. Even as he was dragged through the streets by a horse, he remained steadfast in his faith. His relics, later translated to Suceava, became a source of miracles and healing.
O, Holy Martyr John, intercede for us before the throne of glory.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." He came down, incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and dwelt among us. He healed the sick, raised the dead, and preached a message of love, forgiveness, and repentance. He was crucified, died, and was buried for our sins. On the third day, He rose again, conquering death. He ascended into Heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father, interceding for us.
Let us worship Him, the King of kings and Lord of lords!

St. Emilian, a brave soul during Julian the Apostate's reign, openly confessed his Christian faith, defying the emperor's pagan decrees. He fearlessly went into a pagan temple, and with a hammer, smashed the idols to dust. Arrested and tortured, he remained steadfast, proclaiming Christ as the only true God. He was sentenced to be burned alive. As the flames rose, Emilian offered his final prayer, and surrendered his soul to the Lord.
O Holy Martyr Emilian, pray to God for us and intercede for the conversion of those who deny Christ. May your courage inspire us to live boldly for our Savior! #SaintEmilian #OrthodoxChristian #Martyr #Courage #Prayer
