Saint Catherine of Alexandria, also known as Saint Catherine of the Wheel and The Great Martyr Saint Catherine is a martyr who is claimed to have been a noted scholar in the early 4th century. In the beginning of the fifteenth century, it was rumored that she had spoken to Saint Joan of Arc. The Orthodox Churches venerate her as a "great martyr," and in the Roman Catholic Church, she is traditionally revered as one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers.
She was martyred on the breaking wheel (an instrument of torture). The wheel itself broke when she touched it, so she was beheaded. Her main symbol thus is a (broken) spiked wheel often accompanied by a sword.
