He is venerated in the Eastern Orthodox faith as a martyr and a saint. He was interred in a crypt within St. Catherine's Cathedral in Tsarskoe Selo. The Cathedral of St. Catherine was destroyed in the 1930s, but has recently been rebuilt. It was rededicated in 2010. It is unclear if Father John's remains are still extant there.
However, the Sophia Cathedral of St. Petersburg maintains a shrine of his relics.
