Our [[righteous]] father '''Alexander Hotovitzky''' (or Hotovitsky), [[hieromartyr]] of the Bolshevik yoke, [[Missionary]] of America, was a Russian who came to the United States in the 1890s as a lay missionary and was [[ordination|ordained]] to the [[priest]]hood while there. He was active as a missionary among the emigrated [[Uniate]]s in the northeastern United States before returning to Russia in 1914. In Russia he was active among the Orthodox Karelians before his assignment to [[Cathedral of Christ the Saviour (Moscow)|Christ the Savior Cathedral]] in Moscow in 1917. After the Bolshevik coup he was subjected to the cruelties by the ungodly revolutionists as he defended the Orthodox faith, his people, and [[church]] property. Subjected to many arrests and exile Father Alexander serviced served his beloved Church as best he could through these tumultuous times until after a final arrest he disappeared from history other than oral reports of his [[martyr]]dom. His [[glorification]] is celebrated on [[December 4]].
