Saint Catherine of Alexandria
Painting of Saint Catherine of Alexandria
by Caravaggio
"Saint Michael, when he came to me, told me that Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret would come to me and that I should act by their advice,
that they were bidden to lead me in what I had to do and that I should believe in what they would say to me and that it was by God's order." Saint Joan of Arc speaking at her trial
One of the Voices that spoke to Joan of Arc was Saint Catherine who was an early Christian in Alexandria, Egypt, under the control of Rome. The legend of her life is
that she was a young woman of great faith who defied the Emperor Maximin and was martyred.
