| Description |
English: St Catherine is a legendary figure, the beautiful, educated and incalculably rich king's daughter from Alexandria. According to the legend, she suffered martyrdom under Emperor Maxentius (c. 278-312), after arguing with 50 heathen philosophers and converting them to her Christian beliefs. She condemned to be broken on the wheel, but an angel of the Lord destroyed the wheel and killed 4,000 of the heathen who had gathered to watch, whereupon the guard and the wife of the emperor became Christians. Finally Maxentius ordered the beheading of Catherine. |
