He clashed with the Byzantine Emperor Leo the Armenian, who was instituting a policy of iconoclasm. John survived torture for his iconodulism. He is considered a saint by the Eastern Orthodox Church[2] and the Roman Catholic Church,[3] and is celebrated by them on 27 April and 18 April respectively.[1][4]
