Saint Alexander of Jerusalem became a saint due to his significant contributions to early Christianity, particularly his role as a bishop and theologian. He was known for his staunch defense of the faith against heresies and his efforts to promote unity within the Church. His leadership during tumultuous times, including persecution, and his dedication to fostering spiritual growth among Christians helped solidify his legacy. His canonization reflects the recognition of his holiness and the impact he had on the early Christian community.
