Saint of the Day – 14 March – Saint Alexander (Died c320) Priest Martyr of Pydna, Macedonia in modern Greece. He died by being beheaded during the persecutions of Emperor Maximian. Also known as – Alessandro, Alexandros.
Information regardomg Saint Alexander is very scant and comes from Passio written a good deal after the events of his life and death.
We do know that he was a Priest who, during the persecutions under Emperor Maximian (c310), distinguished himself for his unwavering faith and zealous preaching of the Gospel.
Because of his missionary activity, Alexander attracted the attention of the Roman authorities, who arrested him and subjected him to various tortures to persuade him to renounce his faith. But Alexander remained steadfast in his conviction and, despite the suffering, did not renounce Christ.
Finally, by order of Maximian, Alexander was condemned to beheading. He was Martyred in Pydna, Macedonia, around 310.

as so many sermons.
We do not use them, it is they who move us
and lead us, to where we had not expected to go.”
