Jekyll, Liquid - Get all pages from category from page

I have a question in Jekyll Liquid.

I have layout, where I want to show pages from category. To show category I use page.categories variable. When I show in bracket {{page.categories}} is correct. but I don't know, how to pass to loop?

{% for post in site.categories[page.categories] %}
    <li><a href="{{ post.url }}">{{ post.title }}</a></li>
{% endfor %}


{% for post in site.categories[{{page.categories}}] %}
    <li><a href="{{ post.url }}">{{ post.title }}</a></li>
{% endfor %}

Don't work.

If I passed explicite:

{% for post in site.categories['cat1'] %}
    <li><a href="{{ post.url }}">{{ post.title }}</a></li>
{% endfor %}

It works.

I found another topic:

Jekyll site.categories.{{variable}}?

But it doesn't work.

Thank you. It's work.

Also I can use this code (use first on element of array, because in my case I have only one category per page):

{% assign pcat = page.categories %}

<ul>
    {% for post in site.categories[pcat.first] %}
        <li {% if post.url == page.url %}class="active"{% endif %}><a href="{{ post.url }}">{{ post.title }}</a></li>
    {% endfor %}
</ul>

page.categories is a list (see Page Variables), so you need to loop through it first and pass each category to the loop from your question:

{% for cat in page.categories %}
  <h1>{{ cat }}</h1>
  <ul>
    {% for post in site.categories[cat] %}
      <li><a href="{{ post.url }}">{{ post.title }}</a></li>
    {% endfor %}
  </ul>
{% endfor %}

This will first display all posts for the page's first category in descending order, then all posts for the page's second category in descending order, and so on.
