Martha Dominadora Statue (8") Saint Martha the Dominator

Martha the Dominator earned her name from common depictions. In many pictures, she is holding a torch, a bible, and holy water, with a dragon or snake under her feet. In terms of folklore, Martha is generally regarded as the only female slayer of dragons. Martha has gained a reputation for helping people to dominate a person or a situation. Her story originates in France, where there was, according to legend, a dangerous and deadly dragon. Martha was able to subdue the dragon by using only holy water and a cross. Once the beast was defeated, Martha tied it up using only only a girdle. It was for this feat that Martha’s ability to dominate a seemingly invincible enemy led to the legend surrounding her.
