Support this channel: thesymbolicworld.com/support/ patreon: www.patreon.com/pageauvideos subscribestar: www.subscribestar.com/jonathan-pageau paypal: www.paypal.me/JonathanPageau For a literature class at Saskatoon University, I discuss St-Margaret (Marina) of Antioch with Mark Doerksen. We discuss St-Margaret's surprising story of being swallowed by a dragon and piercing it to escape. We examine how this is related to the feminine hero and the role of martyrs as examples for Christians.
