11/14/1263 AD died

When Alexander foresaw his near death he took most strict orthodox christian monastic vows, called Great Schema. According to orthodox tradition to give a person a new name after becoming a monk he took the name Alexey.

He was buried in Nativity Monastery in Vladimir. Alexander was canonized as a saint of the Russian Orthodox Church by Metropolite Macarius in 1547.

In 1724 Peter The Great ordered the transfer of his relics to a monastery especially built for this, Alexander Nevsky Lavra in Saint Petersburg.
