A painting of three women. At center-left is the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child in her lap. At center right is St Catherine in a gold-trimmed white gown, reaching with her right hand toward the baby; her left forearm is draped over a broken wheel, her attribute. Between these two women stands St. Barbara, holding a martyr's palm. At the far right, from the background, St. Joseph looks on; at the right, a toddler John the Baptist looks on. At the right edge of the painting, on the other side of St. John, is a lamb (painted head-on, from the front).

A painting of an interior in which three women sit or kneel gazing at the child in the lap of the woman at the far left, who wears a pink gown and blue cloak (the Virgin Mary). The woman in the middle is older (Saint Anne?). The kneeling woman at the right is richly attired; in front of her is a broken wheel, the attribute of St. Catherine of Alexandria. In the background behind the women, two angels and a man presumably St. Joseph, look on.

A small tempera on parchment painting depicting the half body of Saint Catherine of Alexandria. Her outstretched right arm is holding a martyr’s palm, and her left hand is resting on her martyr’s attribute, the wheel. She wears a blue gown with white sleeves; a gold colored cloak falls down her shoulder and across the wheel.

Today, we honor Saint Catherine of Alexandria, the patroness of students, teachers, and wisdom. At just 18, her intellect and faith converted many, even in the face of persecution. #jesus #jesuschrist #catholicchurch #catholic #stcatherineofalexandria #faith #courage #wisdom
