Feastday: August 28
Died: 340

Bishop and apostle against Arianism. He was elected the bishop of Byzantium in 317, at age seventy-three. Alexander was well known for his wisdom and holiness. He attended the Council of Nicaea in 325 and joined St. Alexander of Alexandria in condemning Anus and his heretical teachings. In 336, Anus was sponsored by Emperor Constantine the Great to be received into the Church. Alexander, unable to be a party to such a disastrous enterprise, prayed that either he or Arius be removed from the scene. Anus died the day before Alexander was to be exonerated in the court of Constantinople.

Um, could someone double check the spellchecker you use? The proper name Arius-re. the notorious heretical bishop- is misspelt several times in the text of St. Alex of Constantinople as a-n-u-s. Please fix this, it makes us look like poor sports :)

Come, now! " Anus " for " Arius ", surely a Freudian slip!
