John of Rome

Holy Martyr John of Rome is commemorated together with his brother, Holy Martyr Paul, and with Holy Martyr Gallicanus. They were Roman nobles. Gallicanus had twice been elected consul at Rome. The holy martyrs suffered in the time of Julian the Apostate (361 to 363). The note of the Azbyka page shows that John is not included in the present calendar of the Russian Church. The Church commemorates these martyrs on 9 July, in the new style.
