From time immemorial, Saint Catherine of Alexandria She was venerated in the monastery on Mount Sinai when, in the 15th century, the monks discovered her body. Legend of her has made her a Christian girl from Alexandria who rejected the advances of the Emperor Maximinus and led a meeting of assembled wise men to induce her to deny Christ. This festival was restored in 2002.
Catalina, virgin of Alexandria, dedicated herself to the search for knowledge; at eighteen she surpassed all her contemporaries in science. Seeing how Christians were being tortured, she appeared before the Emperor Maximinus (311-313), rebuked him for his cruelty, and with convincing reasons demonstrated the need for Christian faith in order to be saved.
Amazed by her wisdom, the Emperor ordered her to be kept in confinement, and having summoned the most learned philosophers, promised them magnificent rewards if they could confuse the virgin from believing in Christ. Far from being successful, a considerable number of philosophers were drawn by the sound reasons and persuasiveness of Catherine’s speech with such a love for Jesus Christ that they declared themselves ready to offer their lives for the Gospel.
