Consecrated by the Apostle Peter, he is mentioned in Philippians 4,3 and wrote a letter to the Church of Corinth which still exists.

  7. ^ "Ceadwalla, prince of Wessex, being himself as yet unbaptised, conquered the Isle of Wight, and meditated the entire extirpation of the pagan inhabitants. The two sons of Arwald, the ruler of the island, were sent for refuge to the mainland, but were betrayed, and ordered by Ceadwalla to be immediately put to death. The Abbot Cynibert of Hreutford, or Redbridge, hearing of this, hastened to the conqueror, to beg that, if they must needs die, he might at least be allowed to instruct and baptise them. This petition was granted, and the holy man instructed them, and fortified them with the holy Sacraments."[16]

The future saint was distinguished by kindness and tenderness from an early age, and she loved to visit their local monastery. She moved to Estonia in 1919 with her family and on July 5, 1922 was accepted as a nun of Pukhtitsa Monastery. She was tonsured as a nun of the monastery in 1966. On May 5, 1968, on the Sunday of the Holy Myrrhbearers, Mother Ekaterina peacefully reposed in the Lord. There are numerous known cases of miracles and healings by her prayers, both during and after hear earthly life.[19]
