St. Alexander Nevsky Premium Shirt

Commonly regarded as a key figure in medieval Russian history, Alexander Nevsky rose to legendary status on account of his military victories over Swedish invaders whom had launched a crusade against Russia in 1237. The veneration of Alexander Nevsky began almost immediately after his burial, when he reportedly extended his hand for the prayer of absolution. In 1380, Alexander's remains were uncovered in response to a vision before the Battle of Kulikovo and found to be incorrupt. Alexander was canonized as a saint of the Russian Orthodox Church by Metropolitan Macarius in 1547. Before his death, Alexander took strict Orthodox Christian monastic vows, called Great Schema, and was given the name Alexey. Alexander Nevsky's name has strong influence; numerous cathedrals and churches were dedicated to him, including the Patriarchal Cathedral in Sofia, Bulgaria, the Cathedral church in Tallinn, Estonia, the Cathedral church in Łódź, Poland, and the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral in Ungheni, Moldova - including many parishes in the North America.
