Saint Marguerite: A Legendary Figure in Art and Faith From the vibrant hues of a 1950s religious postcard depicting Saint Margherita and the dragon, to the intricate details of a 15th-century tempera on oak panel altar frontal from the Convent of Santa Margarida de Vilaseca, the story of Saint Margaret of Antioch continues to captivate and inspire. The historiated initial C, adorned with the image of St. Margaret, tells a tale of courage and faith, while the charming cottages on the flanks of Mont Sainte-Marguerite in an 1866 black and white photograph, offer a glimpse into the past. The ruins of an old manege on Rue Sainte-Marguerite, built in 1810 and later replaced by a porcelain shop, serve as a reminder of the passage of time. In art, Saint Margaret's story is depicted in various masterpieces, such as the Portinari Altarpiece and the Annunciation with Saints, both from the 15th and 16th centuries. Through the ages, the legend of Saint Margaret has been immortalized in art, faith, and history, leaving a lasting impression on all who encounter her story.
