THE GREAT MARTYR SAINT CATHERINE

Our Saints are our greatest mentors.
The example they have set for us can never lose its value with the passage of time. Their lives are the subject of a new series entitled “The lives of our Saints”, which is published in Greek, English and Russian by Athos Children’s books.  The first book was dedicated to the holy, glorious Great-Martyr St. George, who lived in the late 3rd century.

The second book is dedicated to the Great Martyr St Catherine, a wonderful example of a young girl of noble birth from Alexandria, Egypt, who was endowed with exceptional physical beauty and great wisdom; she, was, therefore, able to face even the wisest idolaters of her time. Once she recognized the One and True God, though, she sacrificed everything, wealth, comforts and glory, so that she could stay close to Christ for eternity.
The book includes the story of Great Martyr St Catherine, her troparion and  activity pages for children.
