Life
Holy Martyr John the Soldier is commemorated on 12 June (new style) in the Greek synaxarion, together with Holy Martyr Antonina.
The synaxarion preserves no details of his life; it says only, in a short verse, that the soldier John now rejoices among the hosts of the angels. His name shows that he served in the army and that he died for Christ.
