The Great Procession of Tournai

Silver reliquary head with relics of Saint Margaret St-Margaret's church, Tournai plate, 16^th century

St Margaret was a Martyr in Antioch. She suffered there in the 3^rd century because she wouldn't renounce to the christian faith. Her legend can be read on a fresco on the north transept of the cathedral. Since 1288, she is the patron of a church in Tournai.
