Biography
Saint Margaret of Antioch, a virgin and st. whose story is know to us from a gathering of legends, yet no contemporary history. Her dad was an agnostic priest in Pisidian Antioch, Asia Minor (present day Turkey). Her mom passed on when Margaret was a baby, and the young lady was raised by a Christian lady. Margaret’s dad repudiated her, her medical caretaker received her, and Margaret changed over, blessing herself and her virginity to God.
One day a Roman administrator saw the delightful youthful Margaret as she was tending sheep, and attempted to get her into his bed. When she won’t, the authority upbraided her as a criminal Christian, and she was brought to preliminary. When she would not forfeit to the agnostic divine beings, the experts attempted to copy her, at that point heat up her in an enormous cauldron; each time her supplications kept her safe. She was at long last martyred by decapitating.
Some portion of her story includes her gathering the fallen angel as a mythical beast, being gulped by the winged serpent, and afterward getting away securely when the cross she conveyed disturbed the monster’s innards; this records for this present virgin’s relationship with pregnancy, work, and labor. She was one of the holy people who seemed to Saint Joan of Arc. One of the Fourteen Holy Helpers.
