Alexander of Corinth

Saint Alexander of Corinth suffered in the time of Julian the Apostate and died in the year 361. He is commemorated on 7 December (24 November in the Greek tradition). His name is not included in the present calendar of the Russian Orthodox Church.

The Synaxarion of the Church of Constantinople gives only his name. The commemoration of the martyr was translated into Slavonic in the twelfth century, in the Prologue of Constantine of Mokisios, and in the sixteenth century was entered under 24 November in the Great Menaia. From a Greek manuscript of the fifteenth century a canon in the first tone is known, which did not enter the printed Menaia.
