Sacrificing to Idols - St. Catherine of Tyre

At Great Vespers, Abp. Irineos speaks of the trials of St. Catherine of Tyre, and the successive attempts of the governors to force the martyress to sacrifice to the pagan idols. Though we may not face the pain of death or imprisonment (yet) for our beliefs, still, the world it seems is constantly urging us to pay homage to the idols of modernity and challenging us if we refuse. May the holy martyress Catherine be an example and inspiration to us all.
