Life

Saint John the Martyr is commemorated on 26 March (new style, the calendar of the Church of Greece) in the group of the martyrs Peter, Marcian, John, Thecla, Cassian and those with them. The English calendar places them at Rome, and their names are also in the Roman Martyrology; they are therefore saints of the undivided Church. On the next day the calendar remembers another pair of martyrs, Baruch and John.

The sources consulted give no other details about his life or the manner of his death.
