Saint Catherine of Siena coloring page: April 29th

April 29, 2013April, Saints Coloring Standard

Catherine was one of 25 children. By age 6, Catherine began having visions of angels, saints, Mary, and Christ. Her parents were very anxious that their daughter find a suitable husband. Catherine, however, did not want suitors, as she desired to give her life to Christ. One day, Catherine cut off all of her beautiful hair, to show her parents how sincere her love for Christ was. Later, Catherine became a third order Dominican. In 1375, she received the stigmata, although it was never visible until after her death. Catherine was also responsible for persuading the Pope to move back to Rome from Avignon. She was only 33 when she died, and was made a Doctor of the Church. Her body is incorrupt.

Thank you for your reply! We love this saint! Great coloring pages, great for our home school’s saint of the day activities.

Please forgive me, but with all my teaching of St. Catherine I do not know what part of her life story this represents. I have a guess, but would like to know for sure before I use it with my students.

    Hi Val!

    Our coloring page comes from St. Catherine’s early life. Her parents were very anxious that their daughter find a suitable husband. Catherine, however, did not want suitors, as she desired to give her life to Christ. One day, Catherine cut off all of her beautiful hair, to show her parents how sincere her love for Christ was.

    For further reading about her life, I recommend “Saint Catherine of Siena” by F.A. Forbes and “Lay Siege to Heaven” by Louis de Wohl, both of which are available here: Lay Siege to Heaven: A Novel About Saint Catherine of Siena

    God bless!
