Duchess-Nun

My first saint's day! Blessed Margaret, which I celebrated before my conversion and on which occasion I received cookies from my roommate's mother as she wanted to include me in their saint's day celebrations. Margaret was the daughter of a duke and the wife of another duke and the mother of three children, who she raised alone after the death of her husband. Subsequently, she became a nun and founded a convent. These saints are very interesting--the ones who were, at different times, nuns and wives and mothers. They got to live out different, complementary signs of the marriage of Christ to the Church.
