St. Catherine Of Alexandria

While I was at the Iconography Workshop, there were several icon books in our lunchroom.

One of them was a compilation of Saints and one of those Saints was St. Catherine of Alexandria. Click the link to learn a bit about her.

The only thing I know of St. Catherine, is that she was supposedly tortured on a wheel.

You hear about that object, in a Moody Blues song called Eternity Road.

The book (written by Sister Wendy) mentions that similar to St. Christopher and St. Barbara, St. Catherine my not have really existed.

I was heartbroken to hear that and hope that this is untrue.

She seems like a pretty wonderful person and I am honored to carry her name.
