Legends of Saint Margaret and Saint Agnes

Saint Margaret Confronted by a Demon

After refusing to marry Olybrius, Governor of the Roman Diocese of the East, St. Margaret was imprisoned. There she was confronted inter alia by a demon named Veltis who had been closed in a vessel of brass by King Solomon but subsequently escaped with other demons when the conquering Babylonians opened the vessel looking for treasure. Margaret then banished the demon, who is depicted has a hairy human-like creature with horns, and a hole in earth opened up into which he descended.

Torture of Saint Margaret

After overcoming the demon Veltis and the Devil himself in the form of a dragon, St. Margaret was brought out of her cell once more. After being presented before a seated judge, who is richly dressed in blue robes trimmed with cloth of gold and wears a golden crown, and refusing to make a sacrifice to the Romans’ false gods, she is tortured further.

St. Margaret has been stripped naked and hung up by her wrists as burning brands are applied to her skin by two torturers. Rather than having an anguished look on her face, she accepts her martyrdom with serenity, causing one of her torturers to look back at the judge as though he were unsure of what to do next. The scene’s glimmering gold background indicates her proximity to the heavenly kingdom.
