The holy and glorious [[Great-martyr]] '''Catherine of Alexandria''' was the daughter of the governor of Alexandrian Egypt, Constas, during the reign of the emperor Maximinus (305-313), and she suffered for her Lord in the year 305.  Some believe the saint's original [[feast day]] to be [[November 24]] and this date is still celebrated by the Slavic churches; however historic documents at the Monastery of Sinai support November 25th as the original feast day, and the Byzantine churches commemorate the saint on this day, [[November 25]], together with the [[Leavetaking]] of the [[Presentation of the Theotokos]].
