Saint Catherine lived a very holy and pious life and was martyred for her Christian beliefs by beheading about the year 305 in Alexandria, Egypt. Her martyrdom lead those who knew her to declare her as a saint and that would have been approved, possibly by a bishop. There was no formal procedure for canonization at the time.
Catherine was removed from the Church's Calendar of Saints and her cult suppressed several years back because much of what is known about her is based entirely on legend. However, Pope John Paul II returned her to the Calendar during his reign when new information came to light.
