The Holy Great Martyr Catherine lived in the fourth century and was born of the governor of Alexandria, Egypt, under the reign of the Emperor Maximian. St. Catherine was educated within the greatest philosophical traditions of her day. Well versed in worldly philosophy, St. Catherine was baptized and offered herself as a servant of Jesus Christ, acquiring and defending not earthly wisdom, but the Heavenly Wisdom as revealed by the Holy Trinity. St. Catherine became a staunch defender of the Truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ converting many to the Christian faith by her example. St. Catherine was eventually tortured and martyred for her faith. St. Catherine is the Patron Saint of our Fellowship and each of us is invited to seek the Heavenly Wisdom and Love of Our Lord Jesus Christ through the guidance and intercession of our Patroness.
The parish of St. George maintains a bookstore offering a selection of Orthodox icons, books, music, etc. We now carry the newly-published Orthodox Study Bible containing both the Old and New Testaments. If you would like to purchase any of these items or are looking for a particular item, please contact us at: 412.221.2277.
