Presbyter
Saint Alexander Mikhailovich Tuberovsky was born on March 8, 1881, in the village of Makaveevo, Ryazan Province. He graduated from the Kasimov Spiritual School in 1896 and the Ryazan Spiritual Seminary in 1902. In 1907, he became a professor stipendiate at the Moscow Spiritual Academy, and in 1911, he was appointed acting associate professor at the Department of Dogmatic Theology.
On October 11, 1917, he defended his dissertation "The Resurrection of Christ. An Attempt at Orthodox-Mystical Ideology of the Dogma," which became the only work on this topic. The defense sparked a heated debate involving leading theologians. After receiving the degree of Master, he was appointed as an associate professor of the Academy and soon became an extraordinary professor.
In 1919, due to the closure of the Spiritual Academy, he returned to Makaveevo, where he married Tatyana Dmitrievna Tretyakova. From 1922 to 1924, during the height of anti-church persecutions, he accepted the priesthood and served alongside his father.
On September 13 (26), 1937, he was arrested, and on December 10 (23), he was executed. He was canonized among the ranks of the New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia at the Jubilee Archpastoral Council of the Russian Orthodox Church in August 2000 for public veneration.
