Optional memorial November 25Virgin and martyr

Saint Catherine of Alexandria

Brilliant young woman of Alexandria who out-argued the emperor's philosophers and was martyred for Christ.

Caravaggio, Saint Catherine of Alexandria, c. 1598 · Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid (public domain)

Who was Saint Catherine of Alexandria?

Tradition says Catherine was a learned young noblewoman of Alexandria, Egypt, in the early 4th century. She defended the faith before the emperor and his philosophers, many of whom converted. Condemned to die on a spiked wheel, she was beheaded when the wheel broke. Removed from the calendar in 1969, she was restored by Pope John Paul II in 2002.

Feast day and traditions

She is one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers, and the spinning "Catherine wheel" firework is named after her. Saint Catherine's Monastery at the foot of Mount Sinai bears her name.

Prayer

St. Catherine, wise and brave, help me understand and defend my faith. Amen.

Novena
