Saint Alexius, the hermit of the Caves, labored in the Near Caves of the Kiev-Pechersk Monastery in the 13th century. His relics were uncovered after 1675. The memory of the saint is celebrated on April 24, as his relics rest beside those of Saint Savva of the Caves. His memory is also commemorated with the assembly of the holy fathers of the Near Caves (September 28) and with the assembly of all the Kiev-Pechersk miracle workers (2nd Sunday of Great Lent).
