Pope Saint Alexander I governed The Church under The Emperor Hadrian. He prescribed water to be mixed with the wine at Mass, on account of The Blood and Water that flowed from The Side of Jesus.

His name is inscribed in The Canon of The Mass (Second List). He was Martyred at the same time as the Priests Eventius and Theodulus, in 117 A.D., and their bodies rest in Rome, in the Church of Saint Sabina, where The Lenten Station is held on Ash Wednesday.

Saint Juvenal, Bishop of Narni, fell asleep on this day, in The Peace of The Risen Christ, towards 377 A.D.

Mass: Sancti tui.
