Martyr Alexander of Macedonia
The Holy Martyr Alexander was a presbyter in the city of Pidna, not far
from Thessalonica. The saint converted many pagans to Christianity by
his preaching. During the persecution against Christians under the
emperor Maximian Galerius (305-311), St Alexander was subjected to
fierce tortures, and then beheaded.
