Blessed Alexander of Kouchta
Profile
Monk in Kamenni, Bulgaria. Seeking a more disciplined life, he became a hermit in the forest near Lake Koubensk in Russia. When Tartars attacked the area around his hermitage, he allowed the local peasants to “secretly” steal from his fields and garden to keep them fed.
