St. John the Russian (1690-1730) - a confessor of the faith who, as a young soldier of the Russian army, was captured during the Russo-Turkish War and taken to Asia Minor, where he spent the rest of his life as a slave in a Turkish village. Under pressure to renounce Orthodoxy and convert to Islam, he remained steadfast. He spent his days in prayer, his nights in a stable with livestock - and it was there, in the most profound humility, that his holiness was revealed.
His feast day is May 27. His holy relics now rest in Prokopi (Euboea, Greece) and are one of the most visited pilgrimage sites in the Orthodox world. The faithful come to his icon with prayers for courage in faith, for perseverance in difficult circumstances, and for the protection of soldiers.
