Margaret the Virgin was a 4th-century martyr from Antioch of Pisidia. Born to a pagan priest, she was raised by a Christian nurse and dedicated her life to her faith. When a Roman official named Olybrius demanded she renounce Christianity and marry him, she refused, leading to her torture and eventual execution by beheading. In Eastern traditions, she is known as Saint Marina the Great Martyr, while Western traditions identify her as Margaret of Antioch.
