Life Style / Holiday / St Davids Day: Saint Catherine's Day is known as la f?te des vielles filles (old maids), for ladies over 25 and still unmarried. Apparently, there was a girl by the name of Catherine who was executed around the year 307 because she refused to marry a Roman emperor. That began a tradition where girls who hadn't found a husband by the age of 25 were called Catherines. Traditionally, Saint Catherine is the patron saint of virgins and philosophers who was martyred because she was a Christian. Celebrated on November 25.
