St. Margaret of Antioch
A young woman of Antioch, disowned for her faith and martyred under Diocletian, whose immensely popular legend — including her escape from a dragon — made her one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers.
One of the heavenly voices St. Joan of Arc said she heard, she was among the most venerated saints of the Middle Ages and a patron of safe childbirth.
