Abstract
In 1981 Tsar Nicholas II and his family were canonized as a martyr by the Russian church abroad. In 2000, they were also canonized by the Russian church (Moscow Patriarchate) as passion bearers. Tsar Nicholas II was the last Royal saint for Russia somehow closing the circle of holy Russian princes, since the first of them SS. Boris and Gleb were also canonized as passion bearers. There are a lot of hymnography devoted to Royal Martyrs but in the article only 3 “official” services are taken in account. In the article it is made an attempt to see this service in the context of Russian princely service and in some cases to show models of creation.
