General information about Church of Saint Ioann of Suchavskyi (Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi)

The underground church of Ioann of Suchavskyi was built in Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi over a stone well, where, according to legend, the Orthodox saint John of Suchavskyi was killed.

In 1330, the Orthodox merchant John from Turkish Trebizond, who traded in Akkerman, refused to convert to Islam, for which he was tortured by order of the governor of the Golden Horde. A chapel was built on John's grave, and the saint's relics were later moved to Moldavian Suceava (now the territory of Romania). Since that time, he is considered the heavenly patron of merchants.

A spring by the sea, which, according to legend, was often visited by Ioann, was named after him. The water from the Saint Ioann's spring is considered healing, and people come from all over for it.

Підземна церква Іоанна Сучавського споруджена в Білгороді-Дністровському над кам'яною криницею, де, за легендою, було вбито православного святого Іоанна Нового чи Сучавського.

В 1330 році православний купець Іоанн з турецького Трапезунда, який торгував в Аккермані, відмовився прийняти мусульманство, за що був закатований за наказом намісника Золотої Орди. На могилі Іоанна було збудовано каплицю, а мощі святого пізніше були перенесені до молдавської Сучави (зараз територія Румунії). З того часу його вважають небесним покровителем торговців.

Джерело на березі моря, яке, за переказами, часто відвідував Іоанн, було названо його ім'ям. Вода з джерела Святого Іоанна вважається цілющою, за нею приїжджають з усіх околиць.
