Alexander Prussky

Saint Alexander Prussky, hieromartyr and bishop of Prusa, was beheaded with the sword, probably not later than the fourth century. He is named in the Synaxarion of Constantinople. His commemoration was translated into Slavonic in the twelfth century, in the Prologue of Constantine of Mokisios. In the first half of the fourteenth century the commemoration was translated again, in the Verse Prologue and the service Menaia. In the sixteenth century it was entered under 9 June in the Great Menaia. He is commemorated on 22 June (9 June in the Greek tradition). His name is not included in the present calendar of the Russian Orthodox Church.
