St Margaret Art Photos

St Margaret, in prison for being a Christian, met the devil in form of dragon, which swallowed her, but disgorged her because of her cross. Thus, Margaret became patroness of childbirth. She then survived execution by fire & drowning, but was martyred by beheading.
Symbol: dragon.
