Venerable John, fleeing the Ottoman invasion, sought refuge in the forests near Prislop Monastery. There, in a cave, he lived a life of prayer and asceticism, unknown to the world. He was discovered after his death, his body incorrupt and radiating a heavenly fragrance, a testament to his profound devotion and holiness.

Lord, through the prayers of Saint John, grant us strength in trials and unwavering faith.
