Saint Alexander Nevsky:
The most important thing about Saint Alexander Nevsky is his famous statement uttered before the Battle of the Neva: "God is not in power, but in truth." He is a unique ruler who, at the height of his glory and power, took monastic vows before his death, showing that the crown of Christ is more valuable than any earthly crown. Among the Serbian people, Alexander Nevsky is highly revered, and the church dedicated to him in Belgrade testifies to a deep fraternal bond. The most vital point to understand is that Nevsky in the home represents the symbol of "Moral Victory." He does not teach aggression but the unwavering defense of what is sacred. When you bring this gilded triptych into your home, you establish a model of upbringing that teaches sons courage and the entire family that through fasting and prayer, even "invincible" enemies can be overcome.
