Martha was said to possess the “courage of a man and the heart of a woman” and it was for her that Christ performed the miracle of raising her brother Lazarus from the dead. Medieval legend credits Martha as slaying the monster known as the Tarasque. The Golden Legend describes it as a great dragon, half beast and half fish, greater than an ox, longer than a horse, having teeth sharp as a sword, and horned on either side, head like a lion, tail like a serpent, that dwelt in a certain wood between Arles and Avignon. Martha sprinkled the beast with holy water, placed her sash around its neck, led the tamed dragon through the village where it was put to death by the onlookers.
