St. Catherine of Alexandria
St. Catherine glorified God by an illustrious confession of the Faith of Christ at Alexandria, Egypt. At the age of eighteen she was a prodigy of learning, for she had been educated at the feet of the successors of Pantaenus of Alexandria and of his disciple, St. Clement.
When Emperor Maximinus began his persecution of the Christians, Catherine did not fear to throw her rank, her learning, and her eloquence on the side of the oppressed Church. Contemning the overtures of the tyrant Maximinus, after much persecution she was sent into exile. According to tradition, when she returned she was put to death for refusing to denounce her faith. In 310, by means of an engine fitted with a spiked wheel.
The Christians, hearing of Catherine’s glorious confession, reverently interred her body among them. Tradition continues to recount how in the 8th century it was carried by Angels to the top of Mt. Sinai, where it continues to be the object of great veneration.
St. Catherine is recognized as the Patron Saint of Christian philosophers. In Christian art she is depicted as being borne through the air by the Angels, one bearing her palm, another the sword by which her spirit was released from the bondage of earth. In all other pictures, St. Catherine of Alexandria is known by the broken wheel at her side.
