Christians today honor Patriarch Saint Alexander, and the Bulgarian Orthodox Church also celebrates the transfer of the relics of Saint Alexander Nevsky.
Alexander, Alexandra, Alexandrina, Alexandria, Alexi and Aleko celebrate their birthday.
The name Alexander is of Greek origin and means “protector, protector of men.” Those who wear it can choose to drink for a birthday on November 23, when the memory of the believing holy prince Alexander Nevsky is honored.
Alexander, John, and Paul were God-loving Christians. With their dedicated work in the name of God, they were ordained Patriarchs of Constantinople during the reigns of Emperors Constantine the Great and Anastasia. Until the end of their lives, the holy fathers served wisely and devoutly, and through their sermons they sowed the word of God among pagans and heretics.
During the reign of Peter the Great, on August 30, the relics of Saint Alexander Nevsky were solemnly transferred to the newly founded city of Saint Petersburg and buried in Alexander Nevsky’s Lavra built in his memory.
The day is one of the feasts of the temple of the patriarchal cathedral “St. Alexander Nevsky”.
