The right-believing Emperor Saint Nicholas Alexandrovich Romanov was the last reigning emperor (tsar, цар) of Russia at the time of the Bolshevik Revolution. Together with his wife, Alexandra Fyodoronova, formerly Alexandra of Hesse-Darmstad, and their children Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia and Alexey, and their servants Doctor Evgeni Botkin, cook Ivan Kharitonov, attendant Aleksey Trupp and attendant Anna Demidova, they are recognized as Passion-bearers by the Russian Orthodox Church. Their feast day is on July 17. ROCOR officially recognizes them as Martyrs.
Troparion (Tone 1)
- Most noble and sublime was your life and death, O Sovereigns;
- Wise Nicholas and blest Alexandra, we praise you,
- Acclaiming your piety, meekness, faith, and humility,
- Whereby ye attained to crowns of glory in Christ our God,
- With your five renowned and godly children of blessed fame.
- O passion–bearers decked in purple, intercede for us.
