*‘saint catherine’ (of ‘alexandria’) is – according to tradition – a christian ‘saint’ + ‘virgin’ (?), who was martyred in the ‘early 300s’ at the hands of the pagan emperor ‘maxentius’
.
(according to her ‘hagiography’, she was both a ‘princess’ + a noted scholar, who
became a ‘christian’ around ‘age 14’,
converted hundreds of people to ‘christianity,
and was martyred around the ‘age 18’)
.
(more than 1,100 years after catherine’s ‘martyrdom’, ‘joan of arc’ identified her as 1 of the saints who ‘appeared to’ + ‘counseled’ her)
.
(the ‘eastern orthodox church’ venerates her as a ‘great martyr’ and celebrates her feast day on either ‘november 24th’ or ‘november 25’)
(depending on ‘regional traditions’)
.
(in ‘catholicism’, she is traditionally revered as one of the ’14 holy helpers’)
(in ‘1969’, the ‘roman catholic church’ removed her ‘feast day’ from the ‘general roman calendar’)
(however, she continued to be commemorated in the ‘roman martyrology’ on ’november 25th’)
(in ‘2002’, her feast was restored to the ‘general roman calendar’ as an ‘optional memorial’)
.
(some modern scholars consider that the legend of ‘catherine’ was probably based on the ‘life’ + ‘murder’ of the greek philosopher ‘hypatia’, (with reversed roles of ‘christians’ + ‘pagans’))
