Description
St. John of Monemvasia (Feast Day – October 21)
Saint John was born in 1758 near the city of Monemvasia. His father was a priest, and from a young age he tried to emulate his father’s life by working in the church. He was known for his exemplary behavior, and referred by other children as the “priest’s son”.
In the year 1770 the army of the Albanian Hatzi Osman defeated the Greek resistance, and arriving in Monemvasia they killed John’s father and enslaved both him and his mother. They were taken to Larissa, where they were sold-off two or three times separately.
After two years they were bought by the same man, a Turkish landowner. This Turk did not have any children, and seeing John’s talents (who was exceptionally smart for his age, obedient and a hard worker) he thought, along with his wife, to make John their God-child. Therefore, every day they tried to convince him to leave the faith of the Christians and become a Turk. Initially they tried to convince him with flattery and promises, but later they used terrible tortures to try to overcome the steadfastness of John (who was only 15 years old), who kept his Christian faith unwavering.
