Commemorated on September 13
Saint John was a monk of the Prislop Monastery in southwestern
Romania at the turn of the sixteenth century. After several years in
that place, he went into the mountains to lead a solitary ascetical
life, struggling against the assaults of the demons.
One day,
while St John was making a window in his cell, he was shot and killed by
a hunter on the other side of the creek, who mistook him for a wild
animal.
St John’s holy relics were later brought to Wallachia
(southern Romania). He was glorified by the Orthodox Church of Romania
in 1992.
