Saint Katherine of Alexandria

A life of faith

The Church’s traditional account presents Katherine as a learned woman who confessed Christ before imperial authorities. Remembered for both intelligence and steadfast faith, her story brings the pursuit of truth together with the courage to bear witness.

The Eastern Orthodox Church remembers saints in prayer and commemoration. Their lives offer examples for Christians learning to live their faith.

A reflection

Consider how learning can serve faith and how conviction can be expressed with care. Some traditions commemorate Katherine on November 25.
