HERMITAGE OF SANTA CATHERINE, Pinoso

It was built in 1989, dug into the rock of a small hill, on the site where a drinking water tank stood from 1926 to 1974. Until then, the safe was located in a room from the 1970s, now converted into the Social Center of the Santa Catalina neighborhood.
The current hermitage houses the image of the neighborhood's patron saint, Santa Catalina, as well as that of the Risen Christ, who takes part in the last processions of the Pinosera Holy Week.

 Santa Catalina.

Catherine of Alexandria was a 4th century Christian martyr. His feast is celebrated on November 25. His cult spread throughout Europe from the 6th century, with an emphasis between the 10th and 12th centuries. She is included in the group of holy helpers and is invoked against sudden death. Some modern scholars believe that the legend of Catherine was probably based on the life and death of Hypatia, with reversed roles of Christians and pagans.
