==Life & Death==
In 1917, during the Bolshevik Revolution, Nicholas reluctantly abdicated the throne, hoping that doing so might save the nation some violence. He and his family were exiled to Siberia, where they were detained under house-arrest. After several months, the family was lined up in the basement and shot. The bodies were buried in an unmarked grave.
==Troparion==
Most noble and sublime was your life and death, O Sovereigns;* <br> wise Nicholas and blest Alexandra, we praise you,* <br>acclaiming your piety, meekness, faith, and humility,*<br>whereby ye attained to crowns of glory in Christ our God,* <br> with your five renowned and godly children of blest fame. <br>
Martyrs decked in purple, intercede for us.
