Anyone know if Saint Catherine / Saint Katerina is a coptic saint?
If so, what is her story and what day do we commemorate her?

    Where is Saint Catherine of Alexandria in the Synaxarium?

    Our church is so rich in the number of her saints that it is not feasible to have all of them included in the Synaxarium we read during the liturgy. However, our Coptic church has published many books that tell the stories of these great saints.

    You can read about St. Catherine of Alexandria in "Coptic Orthodox Book of Saints Part II" published by St. George & St. Joseph Coptic Orthodox Church, Roxboro, Quebec, Canada and at http://home.it.net.au/~jgrapsas/pages/katherine.htm.

    St Catherine is not a saint at.  It is a legend.

    I have been told that many of the Saints that we acknowledge are nothing but legends. For example, St. George is commonly said to have been a legend. What is your source though on the claim that St. Catherine is a legend?
