Margaret of Antioch, also known as Saint Margaret, is a legendary martyr venerated in the Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, and Lutheran Churches. According to her legend, she was a native of Antioch in Syria who was subjected to various tortures at the hands of the Roman prefect, Olibrius, for refusing to marry him. The most famous legend is that a dragon was sent to devour her but she was saved when a cross miraculously appeared and the dragon burst into flames. Margaret was eventually beheaded.
