St Katerina/Aikaterini Candle- Livani / Frankincense Fragrance

Saint Catherine was a beautiful, chaste and intelligent maiden of royal lineage.  When the time came to be married, she only agreed to marry if a suitor could be found to surpass her own knowledge and wisdom.

Her mother took her to a holy man outside the city. He gave her an icon of the Virgin Mary and Jesus and prayed that she find a man who could be worthy. When the Mother of God appeared to her in a dream, she renounced her life and turned to Christianity choosing a more difficult life over an easy one.

She was baptised and decided to devote herself to Jesus Christ and to preserve her body in virginity.

She proclaimed Jesus Christ to be the one true God, going against the King’s own scholars. Thrown into prison, the wheel where she was to be tortured for her faith broke.

The Queen and soldiers visited her in prison and left with an acceptance of Christianity.

Because of her royal lineage, Agia Aikaterini is depicted invariably in imperial garments holding a martyr’s cross. She is often shown seated at a desk upon which is an open book. Other books and a celestial sphere are at her feet, indicating her extensive knowledge and wisdom. She is also portrayed with her left hand resting on a wheel, the symbol of progress but in her case the emblem of her martyrdom. She is celebrated 25th of November.

These candles are lit as a form of prayer, meditation, or devotion, and they are used to symbolize the presence of faith. People may light these candles and say prayers or make requests, believing that their prayers will be heard and answered.
