Икона - Святой Иоанн Русский в киоте

Saint John the Russian (Иоанн Русский) (†1730) is one of the most renowned saints in the Eastern Orthodox Church. Being a prisoner of war and a slave to a Turkish Ağa, he became famous and respected even by his Muslim master for his humility, steadiness in faith and benevolence. For his kind-heartedness, John earned the love and trust of the Ağa who offered to let him live as a free man in a separate house. However, John refused, saying: "My patron is Lord, and no one is above Him. He predestined me to live as a slave in a foreign land; seems, it must be so for my salvation". His holy relics are claimed to be undecayed and wonder-working; there are traditions that this saint particularly helps sick children and those who suffer from cancer. A relic of his right hand is in the Russian Monastery of St Panteleimon on Athos. His Major shrine is the Church of Saint John the Russian in Prokopi, Greece and his feast is celebrated on June 9/May 27.  Saint John’s help is sought by travelers, and by those transporting things.
