Still a child, she loses her mother and her father remarried: thus begins the adventures of little Margherita who, as in fairy tales, <strong>is the victim of her stepmother&#8217;s jealousy and torments<\/strong>. At eighteen, Margherita falls in love with <strong>Arsenio<\/strong>, a young man from Montepulciano. It is an opportunity for redemption: the two decide to flee together, to get married. However, <strong>his family opposes the union<\/strong>, even after the birth of a child, and Margherita finds herself living in a situation of illegitimate coexistence that brings her a lot of inner suffering. Arsenio&#8217;s family does not welcome her &#8211; and neither does the rest of the nobility of Montepulciano &#8211; and Margherita tries to respond to the situation of suffering by <strong>dedicating herself generously to the poor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-product\">\n<div class=\"blocco-immagine\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2256\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2022\/02\/saint-margaret-with-cross-and-fish-in-painted-wood.jpg\" alt=\"saint margaret with cross and fish in painted wood\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" data-kale-share-title=\"Santa Margherita da Cortona: protector of women in childbirth\" data-kale-share-url=\"https:\/\/blog.holyart.it\/com\/?p=2254\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-contenuto\">\n<div class=\"blocco-acquista\">Buy Now:<\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-titolo\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holyart.com\/religious-items\/statues\/hand-painted-wooden-statues\/saint-margaret-painted-wood-statue-val-gardena\">Saint Margaret<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"blocco-descrizione\">Statue with cross and fish in painted wood, Val Gardena.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The situation is complicated when Arsenio is killed, after nine years of living together: there is no more space for Margherita in the castle; she seeks refuge with her father but here too she is refused, through the intervention of her stepmother. Now homeless, Margherita heads to <strong>Cortona <\/strong>&#8211; perhaps inspired by the Holy Spirit. Finally, someone welcomes her: they are the <strong>Franciscan Minor friars of Cortona<\/strong>, who treat her like a daughter, prepare a cell for her in the old convent and accompany her on an intense <strong>journey of conversion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>For several years he undergoes penance and lives a life of profound prayer.
