Santa Catalina de Siena, also called the virgin Santa Catalina, was born in Siena, Italy on March 25, 1347. She was the daughter of Jacobo and Lapa, at a very early age she stood out for being very intelligent. She took a vow of chastity at twelve years of age. During her adolescence she became a nun, she was a religious faithful and devoted to the service of God.
As was common at that time, her parents arranged for Catherine to marry, but her desires for her life ran counter to their plans. When they made one last attempt to force her to marry, she defiantly shut herself in her room, cut her long hair, and placed a veil over her head. She remained veiled until she reached adulthood and entered the Third Order of Penitence.
Saint Catherine died at the age of thirty-three, and her body was buried in the Church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva in Rome. She was canonized in 1461 by Pope Pius II, who declared her the patron saint of Italy.

She is currently the patron saint of students, single women, love, and difficult cases, and is also a Doctor of the Church and a patron saint of Europe.

Another Saint Catherine
There is another Saint Catherine to whom you can appeal in case you are a single woman and you want to find a partner, it is Saint Catherine of Alexandria, who stuck to prayer and preached Christian beliefs in such a brilliant and eloquent way that the Scholars were not only surprised by the young woman's irrefutable arguments, but even converted to Christianity. Saint Catherine of Alexandria was a very brave woman and she is the patron saint of single women and students and she is celebrated every November 25th.

She Saint Catherine of Alexandria is included in the group of holy helpers and she is invoked as protector against sudden death. Several scholars of modern historians consider that the legend of Catherine of Alexandria is very possibly based on the life and death of Hypatia, but with the roles of Christians and pagans reversed.
Information about the existence of Saint Catherine of Alexandria comes from very late sources. The oldest document in which she is mentioned is the Passio , initially written in Greek between the 6th and 8th centuries, which became widely known from the 9th century onwards through its Latin version. There are also other hagiographic texts, among which we can mention the Conversio, which is probably heavily influenced by Benedictine mysticism. The content of these texts is summarized below.

She was a woman who had great intelligence, she stood out very early for her extensive studies, which led to placing her at the same level as great poets and philosophers of her time. It is said that one night Christ appeared to him and he decided, at that precise moment, that he would consecrate his life to him, considering himself, since then, his fiancée, an issue that did not cause surprise, since the issue of mystical marriage was very common in the East. of the Mediterranean and in Catholic spirituality.
Saint Catherine of Alexandria is one of the most sought-after saints in the world, considered for years the most acclaimed saint in all of Europe, even more so than the Virgin Mary . And although her story seems improbable and lacks any supporting evidence, her veneration as a patron saint dates back to the 4th century , from which time countless monastic complexes have been named in her honor, dedicated to Catholic worship in her name, and where her body is venerated as a precious relic.
This enraged the emperor, who had the wise men executed, but not before proposing to Catherine that she marry one of them, which she flatly refused. Maxentius tried to persuade her with promises, but when he failed, he ordered her flogged and then imprisoned. There she was visited by the empress herself and an officer, Porphyry, who eventually converted along with two hundred other soldiers, according to the Passio.
His tomb was found at the foot of Mount Sinai, in the monastery that bears his name, which gave rise to pilgrimages from all over the world, and is particularly appreciated by pilgrims from the Holy Land. There is a legend that tells that the monks of the monastery built at the foot of Mount Sinai found in a mountain cave the incorrupt body of a young woman whom they recognized as Catherine of Alexandria. According to what is written in the Passio, her body had been deposited there by the angels.
