The four capital virgins, Latin: (quattuor) virgines capitales, are a group of virgin martyrs of the early church. In literature they are also called main virgins or excellent virgins. These are: Saint Catherine of Alexandria, Saint Margaret of Antioch, Saint Barbara and Saint Dorothea. Three of them – i. e. Saint Katherine, Saint Margaret and Saint Dorothea – belong to the Fourteen Holy Helpers. The great veneration of the four capital virgins testifies that the Missale Cologniense (Missal of Cologne), printed in 1494, contained the votive mass Missa de sanctis quatuor virginibus capitalibus.
