Life
Saint Alexander of Side (Pamphylia), hieromartyr, was a priest in the city of Side and suffered for Christ in the time of the persecution under the emperor Aurelian (270 to 275). He is commemorated on 28 March.
The saint was interrogated by the governor Antoninus and given over to cruel tortures. But, wonderfully kept by the Lord, he bore all the torments with astonishing patience and was at last beheaded. The tormentor Antoninus had scarcely begun to step down from the judgment seat when he began to rage with an evil spirit and died in terrible convulsions.
Commemorated the same day March 15
