Life

Holy Martyr Alexander suffered at Thessalonica together with Dionysius, Ingeniana, Pacerus, Parthenius and Saturninus, most probably in the early Christian centuries. This is stated by the Hieronymian Martyrology, which the Greek synaxarion follows.

No details survive of their lives or of the manner of their death. They are commemorated together on 1 April, according to the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).
