Martyrs of Rome
Feast day: April 10
Died . 115.
This is a rather unusual story. While Pope Saint Alexander was imprisoned in a public jail in Rome, he preached to the criminals he found there. They were converted and baptized. Later, the criminals were taken to Ostia and put on board an old boat which was then sent out to sea and scuttled. Note that there is some doubt that Saint Alexander was the pope.
