She was born in Alexandria.
AnswerHer "Acts" do not list a country, but if she is "of Alexandria" then we can be pretty sure that she was from Egypt. She was martyred by the emperor, so she would have ended her life at Rome. AnswerAlexandria, Egypt, where her father was the pagan Roman governor. In 1969 she was removed from the church calendar as there was little information to prove her existence and her heroic virtues. A popular movie adds to the ambience of the legend by claiming to be based on Catherine's own diary.Catholic Answer:
Yes, the major part of the hagiographies of Catherine were pure legend. In fact, Catherine was one of the saints to get the axe in the great purge of 1969 by the Vatican. Also included were such saints as Valentine of Rome, Christopher, Ursula, Dorothy and a number of others. All were removed from the Calendar of Saints. This was not a denial of the existence of these people but a recognition that so much of what was written about them was just not factual and not enough true information existed to allow continued universal veneration.
However, Catherine was returned to the Calendar by Pope John Paul II in 2002. 1700 years after the death of Catherine a diary was discovered in Ethiopia written by Catherine ('Jabal Ekatherina') herself shorty before her execution and the true story began to unfold.
Work began on a movie based on this diary in 2010 and the film is scheduled to be released in late December 2013 in Britain and elsewhere in 2014. It stars Nicole Madjarov, Peter O'Toole, Steven Berkoff, William Houston, Joss Ackland, Samantha Beckinsale, Vas Anderson, Clive Fryde, Tony O'Brien.
