On December 7, the Orthodox world honors the memory of the Holy Great Martyr Catherine, whose life story is inextricably linked with the name of Jesus Christ. The girl was very beautiful, educated and refused to marry someone unequal to herself in these qualities. One day, a holy elder advised her to earnestly pray to the Mother of God in order to be worthy of seeing her Son, the Heavenly Bridegroom - the One who surpasses everyone in beauty, wisdom, height and wealth. However, the first time the Baby did not even look in her direction. And only after Catherine’s knowledge of the faith of Christ and the sacrament of Baptism performed by the elder, she had a vision that the Lord gave her a ring as a sign of betrothal. This ring ended up on Catherine’s hand after waking up.

Saint Catherine brought Christian teaching to people and refused to marry Emperor Maximin, which aroused his anger and for which she was subjected to torment and torture. However, she sacredly confessed allegiance to Jesus, her Heavenly Bridegroom, and with a prayer addressed to Him, she put her head directly under the executioner’s sword, revealing a symbol of bright faith and devotion.

Rather, it’s even happiness
After all, beauty saves the world.
And the name is a reflection of the light,
And you don’t look like Mymr.

A symbol of fidelity, sincere faith,
This girl brought into the world
And no words can express it,
How faithful and sinless she was!

Gave her life for faith and devotion
To the groom in holy heaven,
The memory of her will be pure and bright
In Orthodox homes and hearts!

Everything is talking about the holiday,
About your Angel Day!

The bell rings for the rebellious soul -
The one who cannot become a peaceful fairy tale,

May the wonderful singing of the angels protect you,
And let the enemies fight in vain,
And trouble and doubt bypass miles away.

The Day of Catherine, the Holy Great Martyr, is widely celebrated throughout the world. Catherine is a legendary saint among Christians. She is loved and revered by all Christians: Catholics, Orthodox, Lutherans, supporters of the Armenian-Gregorian and Coptic movements. Catherine is especially idolized and respected in our country.

Brief description of the life of the Great Martyr Catherine

The Day of the Holy Great Martyr Catherine is celebrated on December 7 (November 24, old style). On this holiday, all Christians honor the feat of the great saint in the name of faith.

The saint is originally from Alexandria. During her lifetime, she was famous as a very smart, beautiful and wealthy woman. Having adopted Christianity in 304, she was a preacher of the faith and teachings of Christ.

An ardent opponent of Christianity, he tried in various ways to force Catherine to renounce her faith and convert to paganism. She was kept in prison without water or food, beaten until her body was like a continuous wound, tortured, tied to wheels with sharp teeth, and her head was cut off with a sword.

The girl’s suffering and persistent faith in the teachings of Jesus Christ led many pagans of that time to renounce their faith and become pious Christians.

The remains of Catherine are considered a great shrine for all Christians; they can be venerated in the monastery that bears her name.

Tourists can still see the place where Catherine was executed when visiting Alexandria. Many churches and temples have been erected in honor of the great martyr all over the world, particularly in Russia.

The meaning of the name Ekaterina

It is the name that is the key to Catherine’s action. “Katarina” means “pure” in Greek; the particle “e” carries a semantic meaning - “always.” In other words, this name means “always pure.”

Saint Catherine became a symbol of purity of faith, integrity and truth. Even in prayer, Christians call the saint a pure, immaculate virgin who accepted martyrdom because of her unshakable faith in God.

sounds like a shore. Christians turn to the pure, immaculate virgin, who accepted martyrdom for the love of God, with a request for help in solving many life issues.

What do they pray to Saint Catherine for?

December 7 - St. Catherine's Day - is significant because it gives hope to all unmarried girls to find their happiness. The saint prays to get a good, pious groom, get married successfully and live a happy family life.

The saint helps during difficult births, so women in labor turn to her in prayer for help.

The day of Catherine, the holy great martyr, is considered by philosophers and preachers to be their holiday. They believe that the saint is their heavenly patroness, and they pray to her to enlighten the mind and acquire new knowledge. Students and teachers ask her for support, because it is Catherine who patronizes knowledge and new teachings.

Praying from the heart, believers hope for the speedy fulfillment of their plans. And often faith really works miracles.

Day of Catherine, Holy Great Martyr - signs of the holiday

This day is truly festive; there are signs associated with it that predict what the harvest will be like next year. According to the beliefs of our ancestors, a bad harvest should be expected if a lot of snow falls on dry ground by this day.

Among weather predictions, the forecast before the holiday of Barbara (December 17) was popular. If there is fog and thaw on Catherine's Day, you should expect the same weather until Varvara, there will be no frost.

Festivities at Catherine's

This is a winter holiday. Usually on this day winter is in full swing: the ground is covered with snow, frost and cold reign.

December 7, St. Catherine's Day, in the old days was famous for folk festivities, they were called that way - Catherine's. It was strictly forbidden to sit at home and be bored on this day. People were having fun, because a mandatory ritual of this holiday was sledding or cart riding down the hill. The guys who were going to get married, on this very day, looked out for brides among the walking crowd in order to have a wedding during the winter meat-eating season. In order to get a good wife, the guys fasted on the eve of the holiday.

Holiday fortune telling for the betrothed

Unmarried girls of marriageable age gathered in one of the houses on this day. After congratulations on the day of Catherine, the holy great martyr, gatherings were held at which porridge or cabbage soup was prepared together from common products.

Exactly at midnight, those fortunetelling and dreaming of finding out their future took the prepared food and, going out to the gate with it, invited their destiny. It was believed that if a rooster crowed somewhere for a prize, it meant that the girl would have a successful marriage and a good family life. Silence, on the contrary, did not bode well.

It is December 7, St. Catherine's Day, that is considered the best holiday to find out the future. Before the sun rose, on this day the girls tried to cut a twig of cherries. At home, a cut twig was placed in water to make a forecast - they were waiting for the old New Year. A dry branch is a sign of “shrunken” happiness, an unhappy fate. The cherry blossomed - the girl is waiting for matchmakers next year.

Congratulations on the day of Catherine, the holy great martyr, are widely used by believers in our time. It is imperative to congratulate women who have the same name as the saint. This can be done simply with words, in poetic form, by writing a congratulatory letter, but the best manifestation of love and care for a loved one will be a prayer coming from the heart.

This holiday is known and revered. Believers visit churches and temples on this day to light a candle and make a request to the saint, believing that sincere prayer can work miracles.

On December 7, all Catherines celebrate Angel Day. On this day, the Orthodox Church remembers the acts of the Great Martyr Catherine of Alexandria. That is why it is customary to celebrate the name day of all girls and women who were named Catherine at birth.

Katya has a broad nature. She is a lively and sociable girl, although you should always take into account her painful pride, so you need to choose the right words. But, Ekaterina is not offended and understands good humor well, and she herself is not averse to making jokes. But if you manage to have a heart-to-heart talk with Katya, then, quite possibly, previously unnoticed qualities will be revealed in her.

Let him play louder than the carcasses!
Today is Katyusha's holiday!
Although you can’t count around,
Let's congratulate them all!

Let's have a great name day!
There will be all Catherines
Grateful all year long:
How the people walked on their day!

To the littlest Katyusha
We prepared the toys.
For big Catherine
There is raspberry jam!

Average Katya-laughing
We will give away three cheesecakes!
Let's not leave our Katyas
On the holiday of the name you will be bored!

I have a good friend
Reliable and faithful Katyushka,
It's not a sin to paint a picture from her face
And what should you call Catherine as a queen?

I don't know what this is about,
So that Katya would not be given it,
Sometimes she cooks, knits, embroiders,
The way the boy rushes through the window.

It can be quiet romantic
It can be daring and groovy.
And maybe there is somewhere better for Katya,
But personally, I don’t know any!

Katya is a kind soul,
And she looks good too.
Can be a reliable friend
Faithful, devoted wife,
Loving and tender mother,
An affectionate and diligent daughter.

He will support and understand everyone,
Find the right way out
He will caress you and regret it
And it will warm you with care.

Let her eyes laugh
All ideas are a success,
Let's wish you well and peace
On the bright holiday of name day!

A magical, joyful day - your name day,
The day of your intercessor - St. Catherine,
Congratulations Katya, on a wonderful holiday,
Let the bright light of heaven illuminate your path!
May your saint protect you from misfortunes,
I wish you happiness and love, dear!

Katyusha, I want to congratulate you,
Today is your name day,
I wish you happiness and health,
And may your family make you happy. May your heart sing every day,
And so that you always strive forward,
Let everything in life turn out successfully,
And may your angel protect you.

Happy St. Catherine's Day,
I congratulate you
Let troubles pass by
Your soul does not hurt. Let the Holy One protect
From all bitterness and evil,
Directs you to the right path,
Always takes care of you!

May all Catherines, Katyushas and all Katyas
On December 7th we will celebrate Angel Day!
We wish you good luck and lots and lots of happiness,
And on this day everything will certainly make you happy! May the white-feathered wings protect you from adversity,
And the magical halo always glows brighter than the stars.
Good luck will accompany you for more than one year,
And, of course, for your career growth!
