Saint John, born in Russia in 1690, experienced war with Turkey in 1711. Captured and enslaved, he faced oppression and attempts to change his faith. Despite this, his virtuous behavior gained sympathy, allowing him to practice religion. He performed caretaking and animal care tasks with love. At 40, he fell ill and passed away. Initially buried in the church of St. George, his body and holy relic were placed in a marble urn. In 1832, the relic was thrown into a woodpile but miraculously remained intact. Today, the shrine attracts people seeking healing. In 1924, the relic was brought to Evia, Greece, by Christian inhabitants of Procopius. Transported by the ship “Vasilios Destounis,” a temple was constructed in 1930, completed in 1951. (30-minute stop)
