Saint Margaret of Antioch.
Virgin And Martyr.
Feast Day 20 July.
Simple.
Red Vestments.
The Introit for The Mass for Saint Margaret of Antioch, Virgin and Martyr, on 20 July, from Zephyrinus’s Missale Romanum (dated 1861), which was kindly given by a Priest friend. Readers have to decide whether this Liturgical presentation has more Sanctity, Profundity, and Worth, than what is often on offer in today's “Missalettes”.
The size of the Missale Romanum is 17 inches tall (43 cm) and 12 inches wide (30 cm). Not exactly designed to fit into one's pocket. It was probably designed to rest on a Brass Eagle Lectern in a Monastic Sanctuary.
Mass: Me exspectavérunt.

Saint Margaret, who had been taught The Christian Religion by her nurse, perished by the sword in the cruel General Persecution, at Antioch, in Pisidia, towards 255 A.D. - 275 A.D.
From The East, her Veneration was carried to The West, during The Crusades. She is especially invoked by those about to become mothers. Her name is in The List of The Fourteen Auxiliary Saints (see The Post for 28 July 2015).
The following Text is from Wikipedia - the free encyclopædia,
unless stated otherwise.
Margaret, known as Margaret of Antioch, in The West, and as Saint Marina the Great Martyr (Greek: Ἁγία Μαρίνα), in The East, is celebrated as a Saint on 20 July in Western Christianity, on 30 July (Julian Calendar) by the Eastern Orthodox Church, and on Epip 23 and Hathor 23 in the Coptic Orthodox Church.
She was reputed to have promised very powerful Indulgences to those who wrote or read her Life, or invoked her Intercessions; these no doubt helped the spread of her following.[2]
Margaret is one of The Fourteen Holy Helpers, and is one of the Saints that Joan of Arc claimed to have spoken with.
