St. Catherine of Alexandria HD

Saint Catherine of Alexandria is a canonized saint in the Catholic Church who, per Christian tradition, was martyred around 305 in Alexandria, Egypt. Of course, the Church of the first Millennium was undivided. She is also recognized as the Great Martyr and Saint by the Orthodox Church. There are no surviving primary sources attesting to her existence, but the fact that her memory, and the stories about her, have been kept alive - and handed down in the tradition - certainly confirm her existence, and her life of heroic virtue and holiness.

The young saint was born around 287 in Alexandria, Egypt. At that time, Alexandria was one of the finest cities in the world, and a center of learning and culture as well as faith.

Christian tradition states she was of noble birth, possibly a princess. As a member of the nobility, she was also educated and was an avid scholar. Around the age of fourteen, she experienced a moving vision of Mary and the infant Jesus, and she decided to become a Christian.

Although she was a teenager, she was very intelligent and gifted. When the emperor Maxentius began persecuting Christians, Catherine visited him to denounce his cruelty.

Rather than order her execution, Maxentius summoned fifty orators and philosophers to debate her. However, Catherine was moved by the power of the Holy Spirit and spoke eloquently in defense of her faith. Her words were so moving that several of the pagans converted to Christianity and were immediately executed.

Unable to defeat her rhetorically or to intimidate her into giving up her belief, the emperor ordered her to be tortured and imprisoned.

Well, my Aunt Catherine Catalogna is St., Cathewrine of Alexandria. She lived in Lebanon in the early 1900's and was a member of the maronite Church. She moved to the USA. She married my dad, Pwetere Carmen Catalogna, St. Lazarus from the Bibles brother Mike Catalogna from Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania. Shde and St. Bruno moved to Detrot, Michigan. They had two children, my cousin Frank Catalogna, St. Athenasius, who worked in thde Federal Bureau of Investigation in Narcotics. He was an outstanding trumpet player. I love him cause he is my cousin, not I love him because you bewlieve in arguments about St. Athenasius. Nevewrtheless, he passed away from Alzheimers aftefr so many years of working in the Bureau of Narcotics as well as putting up with all these arguments. If you dont mind he still has relatives in the suburbs of Detroit,

The most powerful man in the world proposed to her and she refused. She would have lived in the lap of luxury for the rest of her life, her children would have been royalty, and her first born Son would have been next in line to be the next Roman Emperor. Yet she refused for Christ.

Truly astonishing.

Looking up the sword of the church of Sainte-Catherine-de-Feirbois, and got redirected to this saint. Before St Joan of Arc started her commission in the 1400s, someone from the court of the French King was sent to find this sword at that church. So...wondering about the history...
