Let N≥2 and F:RN→R be the unique increasing radially symmetric function satisfying the minimal surface equation for graphs with the initial conditions F(1)=0 and limr→1Fr(r)=∞;r=∣x∣. We construct an ancient solution to Allen-Cahn equation u~t=ΔMu~+(1−u~2)u~ in M×(−∞,0), where M={(x,±F(∣x∣)):x∈RN,∣x∣≥1} is a N-dimensional catenoid in RN+1 and ΔM is the Laplace Beltrami operator of M. In particular, we construct a solution of the form u(t,r,F(r))=u(t,r,−F(r)) such that u(t,r,F(r))≈j=1∑k(−1)j−1w(r−ρj(t))−21(1+(−1)k) as t→−∞, where w(s) is a solution of w′′+(1−w2)w=0 with w(±∞)=±1, given by w(s)=tanh(2s), and ρj(t)=−2(n−1)t+21(j−2k+1)log(log∣t∣∣t∣)+O(1),j=1,…,k.
