After his death, his family found writings on his body which told them who he was and how he had lived his life of penance from the day of his wedding, for the love of God. He is a Holy Patron of beggars, belt makers, nurses, pilgrims, and travellers.The Eastern Orthodox Church venerates St Alexius on 17 March.
