John of Damascus, also known as Saint John Damascene, was an influential Christian theologian and a prominent figure in the early medieval period. Born around 676 in Damascus, he is best known for his writings on the defense of icons during the Byzantine Iconoclasm and for his theological works that contributed significantly to Orthodox Christian thought. He served as a priest and monk, eventually becoming associated with the Mar Saba monastery near Jerusalem. His feast day is celebrated on December 4 in the Eastern Orthodox Church.
