Speaker 1 00:00:03 I a memory of Chris Yuma and the name of the father and the son, the Holy spirit. Amen. It's a feast of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, a patroness of philosophers, mechanics, preachers, uh, young ladies among other things and we'll REITs. But, uh, and I actually know a couple of wheel rights. They're not very common anymore, but, uh, st Catherine Alexandria was, uh, was lived in the Lake or the early, uh, for century and persecution, max Meehan.

And, uh, he was impressed in a certain way by arguments. So he brought in his learned men, the learning pagans to, to have a debate with her and, and, uh, converted over to idol worship.
