Prince Alexander was the son of Grand Duke Yaroslav. Alexander was taller than the others, his voice was like a trumpet, and his face was beautiful. He was strong, wise and brave.

A noble man from a Western country named Andreiash specially came to look at Prince Alexander. Returning to his own, Andreiash said that he had not met a man like Alexander.

Hearing about this, the king of the Roman faith from the Midnight country wanted to conquer the land of Alexandrov, came to the Neva and sent his ambassadors to Novgorod to Alexander with the notice that he, the king, was taking his land captive.

Alexander prayed in the church of Hagia Sophia, received a blessing from Bishop Spiridon and went to the enemies with a small squad. Alexander did not even have time to send a message to his father, and many Novgorodians did not have time to join the campaign.

The elder of the land of Izhora, who was named Pelugiy (in holy baptism - Philip), Alexander was entrusted with a marine watch. Having scouted about the strength of the enemy army, Pelugy went to meet Alexander to tell about everything. At dawn, Pelugius saw a boat floating across the sea, and on it - the holy martyrs Boris and Gleb. They said they were going to help their relative, Alexander.

Having met Alexander, Pelugius told him of a vision.Alexander told not to tell anyone about this.

Prince Alexander entered the battle with the Latins and wounded the king with a spear. Six soldiers were especially distinguished in the battle: Tavrilo Oleksich, Sbyslav Yakunovich, Jacob, Misha, Savva and Ratmir.

The dead bodies of the Latins were found on the other side of the Izhora River, where Alexander’s army could not pass. They were interrupted by an angel of God. The remaining enemies fled, and the prince returned with victory.

The next year, the Latins again came from a Western country and built a city on Alexandra land. Alexander immediately tore down the city, executed some enemies, captured others, and pardoned others.

In the third year, in winter, Alexander himself went to German soil with a large army. After all, the enemies have already taken the city of Pskov. Alexander liberated Pskov, but many German cities entered into an alliance against Alexander.

The battle took place on Lake Peipsi. The ice there was covered in blood. Eyewitnesses spoke of the army of God in the air, which helped Alexander.

When the prince returned with victory, the clergy and residents of Pskov solemnly met him at the walls of the city.

The Lithuanians began to ravage the Aleksandrov Volosts, but Alexander defeated their troops, and since then they have become afraid of him.

There was a strong king in the Eastern country at that time. He sent ambassadors to Alexander and ordered the prince to come to him in the Horde. After the death of his father, Alexander came to Vladimir with a large army. The news of the formidable prince spread across many lands. Alexander, having received a blessing from Bishop Cyril, went to the Horde to Tsar Batu. He paid tribute to him and let him go.

Tsar Batu was angry with Andrey, the Suzdal prince (younger brother of Alexander), and his governor Nevruy devastated the Suzdal land. After that, Grand Duke Alexander restored the city and the church.

Ambassadors from the pope came to Alexander. They said that the pope sent Alexander two cardinals who will tell about the law of God. But Alexander replied that the Russians know the law, but they don’t accept teaching from the Latins.

At that time, a king from an Eastern country made Christians go camping with him. Alexander came to the Horde to persuade the king not to do this. And he sent his son Dmitry to Western countries. Dmitry took the city of Yuriev and returned to Novgorod.

And Prince Alexander fell ill on the way back from the Horde. He became a monk before his death, became a schemer and died on November 14.

The body of Alexander was carried to the city of Vladimir. The metropolitan, priests and all the people met him in Bogolyubovo. There were screams and cries.

They put the prince in the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin. Metropolitan Cyril wanted to unclench Alexander’s hand in order to put a letter in it. But the deceased himself reached out and took a letter ... Metropolitan and his housekeeper Sebastian told about this miracle.
