The Monk Alexander is the only one from the New Testament who saw the Lord in three persons. He lived in the dense forests of Sviria. A large number of miracles are associated with his relics. Science cannot explain how they were preserved in such good condition. They are called “white robes of transfiguration.” At the end of the 19th century, a picture was painted from them, as from a living person.

After death, his face glowed for a long time as during life. In the 17th century, his body became incorrupt. The monks saw that the earth above the coffin rose in the form of a vault. The brethren of the monastery were amazed, because he was the same as he was during his life. It was decided to transfer the relics to the Transfiguration Cathedral. There they stayed for a long time, until the time of fighting against God began.

The meaning of the divine image

This face depicts an old man with a wise look and outstretched hands to God for all of us. In 1918, the relics of the Saint were taken away by the Bolsheviks. But according to historical records, one museum worker hid them from destruction. It was not until 1998 that they could be seen again for worship.

Many scientists have repeatedly taken particles of the Wonderworker’s relics for research, but none of them can explain this phenomenon. The relics have been preserved in perfect condition and at the most significant moments they begin to flow myrrh. Bees often flock to this smell.

Miracles were noted that happened to paralyzed people, cancer patients, blind people, and demoniacs.

They pray to the icon of St. Alexander of Svirsky for strengthening faith and healing from physical illnesses. Those who decided to go to a monastery also apply. People who cannot have children turn to him asking for a child, as well as for understanding life path your baby.

Days of Honor

Celebrations occur twice a year:

April 30 (April 17, old style) – the day of the discovery of the relics
September 12 (August 30, old style) is the day in honor of the repose of the Saint.

Where can you see the face of a saint?

The relics are in the Holy Trinity monastery(Leningrad region). Here you can find a revered image.
Other holy images can be seen in the Church of the Life-Giving Trinity (Moscow) and in the Church of St. Alexander of Svirsky (Moscow).

Icon of Alexander Svirsky: what does it help with?

Since the Saint was a zealous preacher of Christianity, the main prayer to him is aimed at strengthening sincere love for God and a person’s spiritual faith. Young monks can turn to the saint for help in supporting them on their chosen path.

The Saint's parents were unable to produce offspring for a long time. Only after long prayers to the Lord did he have mercy and gave them an heir - a son. That is why prayers to Alexander Svirsky for the birth of a son are heard from all over the world. People who had only daughters turned to him and were heard. Many parents who cannot have children turn to him with a request for offspring. And such miracles happened when the Saint kept the secret of pregnancy even from the mother in order to keep the baby safe and sound.

Parents of children who decide to take monastic vows also turn their prayers to the Saint. Just as the Wonderworker’s parents were not ready for such a decision by their son, he helps them receive consolation and spiritual support in such a good deed.

Prayer to St. Alexander of Svirsky , since to other Saints it must come from a pure heart. Then she will reach the Lord faster. People who sincerely ask for their desires to be fulfilled often receive God's blessing.

Prayer of St. Alexander of Svirsky to the Lord God and to the Most Holy Theotokos

God, cleanse me, a sinner, and have mercy on me, and forgive me, Lord God, Gracious Savior! Grant me, Lord, a Christian end with the Most Pure Body and the Honest Blood, with tears and repentance. Deliver, O Lord, eternal torment, unquenchable fire, and never-ending worms, and boiling tar. You created me, Lord, You have mercy, Lord, I am Your creation. Most Pure Lady of Mercy, Queen of Heaven, pray to the Lord God and our Savior Jesus Christ, Your Son, for me, Your sinful servant (name). Grant me, Lady, a Christian end with the Most Pure Body and Honest Blood and with tears and repentance. Deliver, O Lady, eternal torment, unquenchable fire, and never-ending worms, and boiling tar. Most Pure Lady, Merciful Queen of Heaven, You are the Prayer Book to the Lord God and our Savior Jesus Christ for me, Your sinful and accursed servant (name of the rivers), You are the Helper, You are the Intercessor from all evil and adversary, do not forget, Most Pure Lady, the beggar Yours until the end. Therefore: Zealous Intercessor, Compassionate Mother of the Lord, I come running to You, the accursed one and the most sinful person above all. Listen to the voice of my prayer and hear my cry and groaning. For my iniquities have exceeded my head, and I, like a ship in the abyss, am plunging into the sea of my sins. But You, All-Good and Merciful Lady, do not despise me, desperate and perishing in sins. Have mercy on me, who repent of my evil deeds, and turn my lost, accursed soul to the right path. On You, my Lady Theotokos, I place all my hope. You, Mother of God, save and keep me under Your roof now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen. The same prayer all day to my soul, my soul, why do you complain about the Lord? Like your laziness is an eternal mutse intercessor. If only I knew the gift of God, I would cry with hot tears, groaning with sighs, grieving for every sin, small and great. Cry out to your Master, so that the wrath of the one who conquers with the omnipotent and righteous hand does not precede you. But I, a sinner and a lazy and flattering tongue, how can I pray to my Master, that the Lord will deliver me from the Last Judgment? I always tremble with thoughts in my heart about the Last Judgment, may it save me from eternal torment, and never-ending worms, and pitch darkness, and from unwarmed thunderstorms. Have mercy on me, Thy sinful servant (name of the river), like Paul the Apostle, whom I love more than all, and from us poor ones, do not turn away Thy face on this Terrible Day, for whom my soul trembles and the parts of my body are terrified. Lord, deliver me from this terrible hour, so that I may not fall away from Your mercy. But I pray to the holy Angels and Archangels, and the prophets, and the martyrs, and all the saints, that they pray to God for my soul. For the sake of your prayer, may the Lord return His demands from me, a sinner. And Thou, Most Pure Lady Virgin, having boldness towards the Son for Thy servants, do not forget the labors of Thy servant (name of the rivers), Lord Savior, from a wretched soul I pray to Thee, deliver me from the sorrow of my sins and lead me into the joy of endless life, where the all-holy is glorified Thy name, Father, and Son, and Holy Spirit, always, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

The future saint was born into a family of simple peasants in the middle of the 16th century. The parents of Alexander Svirsky were childless for a long time and asked God for an heir, so they named their long-awaited son Amos, in honor of one of the biblical prophets. From childhood, Amos showed an interest in prayer and the study of theology. At the age of twelve, the young man declared that he wanted to devote his life to serving God and take monastic vows. This news greatly upset his parents: their only son deprived them of the happiness of babysitting their grandchildren. And so, at the age of twelve, in defiance of his elderly father and mother, Amos took monastic vows, receiving Orthodox name Alexander, and secretly went to Valaam. The young man did not know the way to the city, he simply wandered away from his father’s house. But the angels who appeared to him showed young Amos the way.

He spent seven years in humble service to God. After this time, the face of the Trinity appeared to the saint. Before this, only Abraham had seen God in all three of his faces. Alexander's conversation with God was about how to gather the brethren and about the construction of the temple. The saint devoted many years to the construction and decoration of the temple, erected in the place that the Trinity showed him. We are talking about the Trinity Monastery, the most beautiful cathedral in Rus'. Enormous funds and efforts were allocated for the construction of this temple; many people: from trained builders to clergy and ordinary believers - worked on the construction of the temple and brought donations.

Icon and relics of the saint

Memorial Days:

April 30

September 12

The first icon of the face was painted after the death of the saint, in late XIX century. Alexander died at a venerable age, the monk was about 85 years old. The saint spent his last years spending his nights on a stone, thereby paying tribute to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Copies were quickly made from the original icon, and just as quickly they spread throughout Russia.

Many who have seen the icon claim that the elder is looking straight into their soul. On the icon there is a saint with a halo above his head and a staff in his hand, as if he is praying for the souls of everyone on this earth.

It is interesting that the icon was painted from the relics of St. Alexander; they were not only perfectly preserved after decades, but also the features were not affected by time.

When they opened the coffin of Alexander Svirsky, his relics began to exude myrrh, so much so that sometimes bees flock to them. Church servants noticed that the aroma of myrrh and its quantity directly depended on the number of parishioners, whether they came simply to look at the relics or to ask for something holy. The miraculous oil exuded by the relics raises even hopelessly sick people to their feet, of which there is a lot of evidence. Centuries later, the saint’s relics have not decayed and have not suffered from the hand of time. The relics of Alexander Svirsky are a real relic of the entire Orthodox world.

How does the icon of Alexander Svirsky help?

The icon is addressed in the most different cases, it is believed that she will help in all matters. Even monks and clergy often turn to Alexander Svirsky. In times of mental anguish and confusion, prayer to a saint will strengthen faith and guide you on the true path.

This saint helps with the choice of life priorities, on which our actions depend

To gain and strengthen faith in oneself, to find one’s purpose - this is what the saint is asked to do.

But not only to strengthen faith they turn to the icon of Alexander Svirsky. A childless couple asks the saint for the cherished first-born, a family with daughters asks for the desired heir. The answer to requests and prayers in front of the icon of St. Alexander of Svirsky will be a bundle tied with a blue ribbon. Therefore, requests for a son fly to the saint from all over the world. Such miracles also happen that the saint hides the child from the mother in order to keep him safe and sound. Since the saint’s parents did not want to let their son go, he gives consolation to those whose children have chosen the path of serving God. The parents of Alexander Svirsky are praying with requests to help their child with his studies, to find a hobby to his liking and his own path in life.

Believers also ask for health. According to eyewitnesses, the blind became sighted next to the icon and the relics of the saint, cancer patients were cured, and illnesses, both physical and mental, went away. And with high blood pressure, they pray to the saint, and in the most seemingly hopeless cases, people find the only salvation in prayer to the saint.

Prayer to Alexander Svirsky

Those who do not lose hope for the best can see the saint in dreams, as a mentor he will guide them on the path of healing and faith.

In the church, the icon of Alexander Svirsky is located in the northern iconostasis. But all of these, of course, are copies of the first icon. The original is located in the Holy Trinity Alexander-Svirsky Monastery, where the relics of the saint are also kept.

Prayer to Alexander Svirsky:

“Oh, sacred head, earthly angel and heavenly man, reverend and God-bearing Father Alexandra, great servant of the Most Holy and Consubstantial Trinity, show many mercies to those living in your holy monastery and to all who flow to you with faith and love. Ask us everything that is useful for this temporary life, and even more necessary for our eternal salvation. Help with your intercession, servant of God, the ruler of our country, Russia. And may the holy Orthodox Church of Christ abide deeply in the world. Be to all of us, miracle-working saint, a quick helper in every sorrow and situation. Most of all, at the hour of our death, the merciful intercessor appears to us, so that we may not be betrayed in the ordeals of the air by the power of the evil ruler of the world, but may we be honored with a stumbling-free ascension into the Kingdom of Heaven. Hey, Father, our dear prayer book! Do not disgrace our hope, do not despise our humble prayers, but always intercede for us before the Throne of the Life-Giving Trinity, so that together with you and with all the saints, even if we are unworthy, we may be worthy to glorify in the villages of paradise the greatness, grace and mercy of the One God in the Trinity, Father and Son and Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen".

The holy martyrs, to whom Orthodox believers pray, help in various endeavors and troubles. One of the big problems for a family is the inability to have children, despite their passionate desire and effort.

Prayer to Alexander Svirsky refers to such intimate conversations with God. This man lived a bright life full of blessings and miracles, and after his death he was honored to be numbered among the saints. Very often, clergy say to families wishing to conceive a child, “Pray to Alexander of Svirsky.”

Life of a Saint

Before praying to Alexander Svirsky, you should find out about his life, which can serve for the edification of believers.

The parents of Amos (the saint's name at birth) were God-fearing people who asked the Lord for a son for many years. One of the reasons why they pray to St. Alexander of Svirsky for the gift of children is precisely because he was begged from the Lord by his parents and born at their advanced age.

In his youth, Amos decided to take monastic vows and become a monk, receiving a new name - Alexander. Spending his days in the monastery, the monk whiled away his days in a cave and asceticism, completely renouncing any worldly goods. After several years of selfless service in the monastery, Alexander decided to found a new monastery - a men's compound on the banks of the Svir River. Subsequently, the monk Svirsky was nicknamed by the name of the river.

Many miracles have been documented that occurred through the prayer of the abbot. So one noble man could not give birth to a son-heir for a long time, despite his and his wife’s desire and aspiration. They made a pilgrimage to the monastery to Father Alexander, who prayed for them and blessed them. Some time later, the boyar baptized his first-born son.

Icon of the Appearance of the Holy Trinity to St. Alexander of Svirsky

After Alexander's death at the age of eighty-five, he was quickly canonized by the church. His relics have been miraculously preserved and can be visited in the Holy Trinity Monastery.

They ask for the birth of a son, because Alexander himself is the begged firstborn, they ask for an heir, for the birth of a child, for protection for those young men who have taken monastic vows and serve the Lord in the monastery.

Prayer for the desire to conceive a male child to the Monk Alexander of Svirsky

The holy venerable Alexander of Svirsky lived in the 15th–16th centuries in Russia. The saint was born into a family of pious peasants who prayed to God for many years to give him a child, and at baptism he was named Amos. At the age of 19, the monk left his home, went to Valaam and took monastic vows. Later, Saint Alexander withdrew to a cave, in which he labored in solitude for about 7 years. In 1485, the monk founded the Alexander-Svirskaya monastery on Holy Lake, of which he soon became abbot.

During his life, the saint became famous for many miracles and healings, and only 14 years after his righteous death he was canonized by the Orthodox Church.

They pray to Saint Alexander of Svirsky for healing from various diseases and for the birth of children, especially if they want to have a male child.

More and more girls are being born in our family - my grandmother has three daughters, my mother and her sisters have two daughters each. And I myself have two girls growing up - they give me so much joy, and yet I really wanted a son. My husband kept joking sadly that he had no one to go fishing with. However, we trusted in the will of God and consoled ourselves with the fact that if it pleased him, he would send us a son. And so fate decreed that we ended up in the Alexander-Svirsky Monastery, which Leningrad region. And after all, we lived in St. Petersburg for so many years and did not know about such a holy place! And when they told me there, in the monastery, that there was a prayer in which they asked Saint Alexander to give him a male child, then I realized that - here it is, the will of the Lord, which guides us through life. I found out that there is a monastery courtyard in St. Petersburg itself. And I was there, and read a prayer to St. Alexander, and ordered prayer services. And most importantly, I always believed, believed that our destiny was prepared for us by the Almighty... Two years later, our long-awaited son was born. Needless to say, we christened him Alexander. Thank you to the Almighty Lord and Saint Alexander!

Prayers for healing from cancer

Prayer to the Lord God for healing from cancer

In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

God, be merciful to me, a sinner.

To you, my Lord God and Creator, in Holy Trinity To the One, glorified and worshiped, Father, and Son, and Holy Spirit, I address my prayer in complete repentance for my past sins, committed by me as a servant of God (name of the person praying) All the days of my life,

At every hour, day and night, by deed, word, thought and other sins of mine, mental and physical together, I have angered You in the image of my God and Creator and have earned a real serious illness of cancer as punishment from You.

Having realized my sins, I have the will to repent: “I repent! I repent! I repent!”

In repentance, my insight came about my sinful life and about Your ineffable Mercy,

for he did not kill me deservedly, but punished me with the disease of cancer, mercifully, leaving me, a sinful servant of God (the name of the sick one), time for prayer of repentance and for the correction of my sins.

Lord my God, on my knees, with tears, I humbly pray to You:

Help me, with Your mercy forgive me my sins, for regretting these sins, I present them to You and pray - forgive me from all of these, I am good and a lover of mankind.

For goodness, heal me invisibly through the prayers of Your Saints, the servant of God (the name of the sick person), from the disease of cancer and all its titles:

cancer wormy, oppressive, growing, fungal, poisonous, watery, bloody, prickly, powerful, fiery, fatty, internal, smelly, creeping, poisonous, rotting, granular, ripening, serbulating, cereal.

Merciful Lord, hear the prayer of your servant praying to You.

Through the word you healed the long and fierce illness of Job in the puss and worms of that one who prayed, O Lord.

And now I pray to Thee: for the Good, heal me invisibly, the servant of God (the name of the sick one) from oppressive, growing, wormy, fungal, poisonous, watery, bloody, prickly, powerful cancer, fiery, fatty, internal, odorous, creeping, poisonous, rotting, granular, ripening, serging, cereal.

Weaken, forgive, God forgive, my sins, voluntary and involuntary, I am in word and in deed, I am in knowledge and in ignorance, I am in days and nights, I am in mind and in thought: forgive me everything, as Good and Lover of Humanity.

Will my servant (name) of God (name of the sick one) be on this cancerous coffin?

Seven are to be laid to rest, seven will die.

Save, O God, my accursed soul, of Your judgment, O Lord, I fear endless torment, but I do not stop doing evil:

I am worthy of all condemnation and torment, for I always anger You, the Lord my God, and Your Most Pure Mother, and all the Heavenly powers, and my Holy Guardian Angel.

Lord, save me, a sinner and unworthy servant of God (name of the sick one): if you save a righteous man, that is nothing great;

Even if you have mercy on the pure, nothing is marvelous - you are worthy of the essence of Thy mercy.

But on me, a sinner, surprise Your mercy:

therefore, show Your love for mankind, so that the malice of my enemies and my fall into sin may not overcome Your ineffable Goodness and inexhaustible Mercy.

Let my enemies not wait for my Death and do not rejoice in their victory and in the victory of the black demonic forces.

May I be the protector of my soul, O God!

Enlighten my eyes!

Save me, a sinner, for I walk in the midst of many snares: deliver me from them, save me, save me, protect me.

May I not fall asleep in death from the disease of cancer and all its titles.

Punish, but do not kill!

I forgive those who hate and offend;

Grant to me the servant of God (name of the sick woman) salvation and eternal life, visit the infirmities of cancer and grant healing.

I mercifully, with tears of repentance, I ask for good health to the servant of God (the name of the sick person), to change from death to the stomach, give the mourners joy.

To You, Creator, I repent of all my sins, for sinners who do not want death, revive and heal the sick servant of God (the name of the sick one), so that when I rise I will serve You, confessing with everyone the righteous receive Your goodness.

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, Now and ever and unto ages of ages.

Second prayer to the Lord God for cancer

You know how sinful and weak I am;

help me to endure and thank Your Goodness.

Lord, make this illness a cleansing of many of my sins.

Prayer to Nectarius of Aegina for the gift of health

O Saint Nektarios, God-wise Father!

Receive, guardian of the Orthodox faith, the confession from the lips of people named after Christ, gathered today in the temple by the grace of God living in you.

The news has reached the Russian borders, for you, the great servant of Christ in the saints,

in all corners of the universe you appear to those who call upon your name and grant healing from cancer.

We have heard about the priest who is your namesake and who built a temple in your name, with the great mourners.

I was stricken with a cancerous chest ulcer, bleeding every day, and I suffered more and more fiercely;

but you do not abandon your holy work.

Suddenly you, O most merciful saint, descended from heaven and appeared to him in the temple in a visible form.

He, the unseeing thy brother, is the only one from mortal existence, asking for your prayers and saying: “I am a great one, otherwise I want to restore the holy altar, so that once again I will perform the holy liturgy together with the parishioners; After all, I am ready to die; death does not frighten me.”

You, father, are incorporeal, your face is wet with tears!

And the volume of the sufferer, kissing and saying: “Do not grieve, my child, as you have been tested by illness, you will be healthy. Everyone knows about this miracle.”

He, having been healed, in his mind, with whom he spoke, was invisible to you. Oh, great servant of Christ Nectarius!

This temple is now complete and your miracles are like an overflowing sea, multiplying! We know that the prayer of the righteous should be hastened by our zeal for the service of God and I resolve to die for Christ, so that we may find health.

Your sick children pray to you, righteous father:

May God's will be done to us, good, pleasing and perfect, not wanting the sinner to die, but to turn and live for him.

You, the herald of God’s will, heal us with your grace-filled appearance, may God be great in heaven and on earth forever and ever!

Even though we have committed many sins, we still do not want to perish in our iniquities.

Strengthen our weak will for good deeds with the grace of the Lord.

Be a guide and adviser to us, like the youth Tobiah, in our many-sorrowful life.

Help us get rid of the diseases that oppress us, just as you saved Tobit from his many years of blindness.

When the hour of our death approaches, do not leave us, Archangel of God, defenseless in the air ordeals against the spirits of evil blocking the sunrise to the heavenly.

Prayer to Silouan of Athos for healing from cancer

O wonderful servant of God, Father Silouan!

By the grace given to you by God, pray tearfully for the entire universe, the dead, the living and the future, do not be silent for us to the Lord, who diligently fall to you and touchingly ask for your intercession (names).

Move, O all-blessed one, to prayer the Zealous Intercessor of the Christian race, the Most Blessed Mother of God and Ever-Virgin Mary, who miraculously called you to be a faithful worker in Her earthly garden,

where the chosen ones of God pray for the merciful and long-suffering being of God about our sins, so that our untruths and iniquities are not remembered,

but through the ineffable goodness of our Lord Jesus Christ, to spare and save us according to His great mercy.

She, servant of God, with the Most Blessed Lady of the World - the Most Holy Abbess of Athos and Her holy ascetics, ask the saints for the most holy Word of the holy Mount Athos and its God-loving desert dwellers to be preserved from all the troubles and slander of the enemy in the world.

Ask the people of the entire earth for a prosperous and peaceful life, a spirit of humility and brotherly love, good morals and salvation, a spirit of fear of God.

May it not be malice and lawlessness that harden the hearts of men, which can destroy the love of God in men and cast them into godless enmity and fratricide,

but in the power of Divine love and truth, as in heaven and on earth, hallowed be the name of God, may His holy will be done in men, and may peace and the Kingdom of God reign on earth.

Likewise, ask for your earthly Fatherland - the Russian lands, saint of God, the longed-for peace and heavenly blessing,

in covering him with the omnipotent omophorion of the Mother of God, he may be delivered from famine, destruction, cowardice, fire, sword, invasion of foreigners and internecine warfare and from all enemies visible and invisible,

and thus remain the most holy home of the Most Blessed Mother of God until the end of the century, the Life-giving Cross by the power, and be established in the unfailing love of God.

For all of us, immersed in the darkness of sins and warmth of repentance, who have no lower fear of God and constantly insult the Lord who loves us immeasurably,

ask, O all-blessed one, from our All-Generous God, that with His All-powerful divine grace He may visit and revive our souls, and may abolish all the malice and pride of life, despondency and negligence in our hearts.

We also pray for us, strengthened by the grace of the All-Holy Spirit and warmed by the love of God, in philanthropy and brotherly love, in humble crucification for each other and for everyone,

be established in the truth of God and be well strengthened in the grace-filled love of God, and draw closer to Him who loves His sons.

Yes, so, doing His all-holy will, in all piety and purity of temporary life, let us walk the path unashamedly and with all the saints of the Heavenly Kingdom and His Lamb we will be honored.

To Him from all earthly and heavenly be glory, honor and worship, with His Beginning Father, His Most Holy and Good and Life-Giving Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages.
