Saint Alexis the Man of God (also Alexios or Alexius; Gr. Αλεξιος) was a fourth-century monastic who is known for his dedication to the God in anonymity. The rare title, "Man of God," was bestowed on St. Alexis for the manner in which he gave himself over to Jesus Christ, forsaking a bride even at the altar in order to fulfill his deeper need to leave the world and devote life to the service of the Lord. The Eastern Orthodox Church venerates St. Alexis on 17 March. Five Byzantine Emperors, four Emperors of Trebizond and son of the last Russian Emperor -- Tsesarevich Alexei Romanov hade borne his name.
