Art depicting St. Margaret of Antioch Magnets by prophoto
Asset ID: 92831954 / Photos.com / Art depicting St. Margaret of Antioch

Margaret the Virgin , also known as Margaret of Antioch (in Pisidia ), virgin and martyr , is celebrated as a saint by the Roman Catholic and Anglican Churches on July 20; and on July 17 in the Orthodox Church . Her historical existence has been questioned; she was declared apocryphal by Pope Gelasius I in 494, but devotion to her revived in the West with the Crusades . She was reputed to have promised very powerful indulgences to those who wrote or read her life , or invoked her intercessions ; these no doubt helped the spread of her cultus .
According to the Golden Legend , she was a native of Antioch , daughter of a pagan priest named Aedesius. She was scorned by her father for her Christian faith, and lived in the country, which is now modern day Turkey, with a foster-mother keeping sheep. Olybrius, the praeses orientis (Governor of the Roman Diocese of the East ), offered her marriage at the price of her renunciation of Christianity . Upon her refusal, she was cruelly tortured , during which various miraculous incidents occurred. One of these involved being swallowed by Satan in the shape of a dragon , from which she escaped alive when the cross she carried irritated the dragon's innards. The Golden Legend, in an atypical moment of scepticism, describes this last incident as "apocryphal and not to be taken seriously" (trans. Ryan, 1.369). She was put to death in A.D. 304.
The Eastern Orthodox Church knows Margaret as Saint Marina , and celebrates her feast day on July 17. She has been identified with Saint Pelagia – "Marina" being the Latin equivalent of the Greek name "Pelagia" – who, according to a legend, was also called Margarita. We possess no historical documents on St Margaret as distinct from St Pelagia. The Greek Marina came from Antioch, Pisidia (as opposed to Antioch of Syria ), but this distinction was lost in the West.
An attempt has been made, but without success, to prove that the group of legends with which that of Saint Margaret is connected is derived from a transformation of the pagan divinity Aphrodite into a Christian saint . The problem of her identity is a purely literary question.
The cultus of Saint Margaret became very widespread in England, where more than 250 churches are dedicated to her, most famously, St. Margaret's, Westminster , the parish church of the British Houses of Parliament in London . Some consider her a patron saint of pregnancy . In art, she is usually pictured escaping from, or standing above, a dragon.
She is recognized as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church , being listed as such in the Roman Martyrology for July 20. She was also included from the twelfth to the twentieth century among the saints to be commemorated wherever the Roman Rite was celebrated, but was then removed from that list because of the entirely fabulous character of the stories told of her. Margaret is one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers , and is one of the saints who spoke to Joan of Arc .
