Saint Catherine's Day
25 November 2007
Cathedral of St Sophia and National Gallery, London
On the Feast Day of St Catherine, Sunday 25 November, the choir of London's Cathedral of St
Sophia sang hymns of St Catherine during the matins service. His Grace Bishop Theodoritos of
Nazianzos, Dean of the Greek Cathedral, welcomed friends of the Saint Catherine Foundation to
the service and for coffee afterwards in the crypt.
Later in the day, members of the foundation joined a special National Gallery tour to view
some of the paintings of St Catherine of Alexandria in the collection. The visit was led by
Dana Brenan and Keith Cavers, Information
Officers of the National Gallery, who share a common fascination with St Catherine. Dana and Keith
presented seven paintings of St Catherine, dating from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance.
The visit culminated with the well known Raphael St Catherine of 1507, which portrays the saint
in an extraordinarily modern fashion for the time.
