Saint Margaret of Antioch (a.k.a. Margaret the Virgin) was disowned by his father after embracing Christianity, then cruelly tortured by Olybrius after declining his marriage proposal.
Having embraced Christianity and consecrated her virginity to God, Margaret was disowned by her father, adopted by her nurse, and lived in the country keeping sheep with her foster mother (in what is now Turkey). Olybrius, Governor of the Roman Diocese of the East, asked to marry her, but with the demand that she renounce Christianity. Upon her refusal, she was cruelly tortured, during which various miraculous incidents occurred.
