The our father among the [[saint]]s '''Alexander I of Rome (bishop)''' was the third in succession after the [[Apostle Peter]] as [[bishop]] of Rome, probably during the years 105 to 115. His life is largely legendary. Apparently elected bishop as a twenty year old, his identification as bishop of Rome is based upon various documents of questionable accuracy written in the centuries after his repose. He may have been a [[martyr]]. He is commemorated on [[March 16]]. {{start box}}{{succession|before=Evaristus|title=[[List of Popes of Rome|Bishop of Rome]]|years=105-115|after=Sixtus I}}{{end box}}
