O divinely-crowned martyr, holy Tsaritsa Alexandra, who can recount thy truly evangelical life? Thou didst come to the Orthodox Faith from another belief, and didst embrace it wholeheartedly, coming to love prayer, the Church and the holy Mysteries, and the teaching of the holy Fathers, raising thy children in piety, and preparing them for martyrdom for Christ, meekly enduring the slander of them that had forgotten God and who did not understand thy true piety. Wherefore, we beseech thee: entreat Christ God Whom thou didst love, that He save our souls.

 

Great was thy faith, O holy martyred Tsaritsa Alexandra, when thou wast imprisoned unjustly by them that contend against God; for knowing of the martyrs' death which awaited you, thou didst speak thus: Let us prepare ourselves to meet the heavenly Bridegroom Who filleth and illumineth my soul with indescribable joy and tranquility! My soul danceth for joy, knowing that the Bridegroom draweth nigh! My soul trembleth, for God is near! Let us ask of the Lord forgiveness of sins for ourselves and the whole world! Let us pray for them that forget to pray and for all the people! O holy martyr, be thou a channel for the forgiveness of our sins and great mercy!
