Umlando kanye nempilo kaSaint Pierrius wase-Alexandria
USanta uPierius wase-Alexandria (ngesiGreki: Πετρίος Ἀλεξανδρεύς, Petros Alexandreus; fl. Ikhulu lesi-3) wayenguMbhishobhi wase-Alexandria futhi engumfel' ukholo ongumKristu. Umlobi wencwadi eya kuSt. Clement waseRoma kuthiwa wabhalwa nguye, futhi kukhulunywa ngaye esikweni le-apocrypha leVangeli likaNikodemu.
Ngokuka-Eusebius waseKhesariya, u-Saint Pierius “wayeyindoda egcwele ukholo nokwesaba uNkulunkulu” eyayisebenza njengoMbhishobhi wase-Alexandria ngesikhathi sokubusa koMbusi WaseRoma uDecius (AD 249-251). Encwadini yakhe ethi Ecclesiastical History, u-Eusebius ulandisa ukuthi uSanta uPierius waboshwa kanye namanye amaKristu ngesikhathi soshushiso lukaDecian, nokuthi wahlukunyezwa ngaphambi kokuba anqunywe ikhanda. Isidumbu sakhe sangcwatshwa emathuneni aseBhabhiloni e-Alexandria.
Isiko le-apocrypha leVangeli likaNikodemu lilandisa ukuthi uPierius oNgcwele waboshwa ngomyalo weNkosi uHerode Agrippa I (AD 37-44), eyayifuna ukumphoqa ukuba alahle ukholo lwakhe lobuKristu. NgokweVangeli, uSanta uPierius wahlala eqinile okholweni lwakhe ngisho nangemva kokuhlushwa, okwaholela uHerode ukuba ayalele ukubulawa kwakhe. IVangeli lilandisa nokuthi uHerode wazama ukushisa isidumbu sikaPierius oNgcwele ngemva kokufa kwakhe, kodwa ingelosi yavimbela amalangabi ukuba angasithinta.

USanta Anthony, umgcini wami ongcwele,
ukuthi ngesibonelo sakho uyangihola;
futhi ngosizo lwakho uyangivikela,
Ngicela ungisize.
Ukuthi lapho udabukile noma ucindezelekile,
ngiyakukhumbula, ungiduduze;
futhi lapho ngicindezelekile noma ngesaba,
khumbula isibonelo sakho, ungikhuthaze.
Ukuthi lapho unokungabaza noma izinkinga,
Ngingeza kuwe futhi ungikhanyisele;
futhi lapho unokwesaba noma ubunzima,
khumbula usizo lwakho, ungiqinise.
Ukuthi kuzo zonke izikhathi zokuphila kwami,
ubukhona bakho buhlezi bungiphelezela;
nokuthi ekupheleni kwezinsuku zami,
Ngingahlangana nawe ezulwini.
