John

Holy Martyr John is commemorated in the Greek calendar on 7 June (new style), together with Saint Tarasius. The synaxarion says only that both received the martyr's death by the sword.

The list of the day places them beside Aesia and Susanna, Zenais the wonderworker and Theodotus of Ancyra. The place where John and Tarasius suffered is not given in the sources consulted; the mention of Ancyra in the calendar concerns Theodotus.
