Ikonographie: Hl. Margareta von Antiochia
Saint Margaret of Antioch
The saint is shown as a shepherdess with a crook and Spanish saddle bags. The dragon recalls the story that she was swallowed by a monster but burst forth from it unharmed - 1 hence her role as the patron saint of women in childbirth.
