Saint Catherine is depicted accompanied by angels holding up her halo. The symbols of the Mother of God adopted by Cretan painters in the sixteenth century refer to her learning, her struggle for Christ, and her martyrdom and triumph.
For more than sixteen hundred years, the monks have carefully preserved the icons, vestments, manuscripts, liturgical objects, and other treasures in their possession.
