A Brief Life of Saint Alexandra Saint Alexandra was the wife of the Roman Emperor Diocletian, who was notorious for his persecution of Christians. She, however, was a woman of a very different character, known for her kindness, compassion, and love for others. Her life changed when she witnessed the martyrdom of Saint George. Seeing his courage and unwavering faith, she recognized the truth of Christ and decided to follow Him. Without fear, she stood before her husband and pleaded with him to put an end to the persecution and torture of Christians. Her confession of faith enraged the emperor, who ordered that she be imprisoned. While in prison, she remained devoted to prayer and entrusted her life completely to God. Shortly afterwards, she peacefully surrendered her soul to the Lord, receiving the crown of sainthood. Her faith and example also led three people from her circle, Apollos, Isaac, and Codratus, to come to know Christ and suffer martyrdom themselves. The Church commemorates Saint Alexandra together with Saints Apollos, Isaac, and Codratus on April 21.
