Every year on February 12th, we honor Katherine with National Katherine Day. National Katherine Day, like other name appreciation days, is intended to recognize and honor Katherines of all shapes, sizes, and walks of life all around the world. Today is the perfect time to celebrate who you are as a Katherine, have a good time, and throw a party because you’re special.
On National Katherine Day, celebrate the Katherines in your life by buying them presents, showering them with praise, and telling them how much they mean to you. This includes your best friend, mother, daughter, sister, niece, aunt, teacher, and spouse.
The Significance of History
St. Catherine was allegedly slain by Emperor Maximinus II in Alexandria around the year 305 A.D. In the 10th century, 25 November was designated as the memorial date, and many European churches and, in especially, nunneries were built in her honour. This date has also been commemorated in Lutheran countries to honour Henry VIII’s first wife, Catherine of Aragon.
St. Catherine’s Day, like St. Martin’s Day on November 11, ushers in the cold season. St. Martin’s Day and St. Catherine’s Day are both mostly secular celebrations. The main difference between St. Martin’s Day and St. Catherine’s Day is that the former is traditionally celebrated by males and the latter by women.
