Saint Margaret was born at Citta de Castello, Italy in 1287. Blind from birth and abandoned by her parents at an early age, she faithfully placed her trust in God and lived under the Rule of Penance of the Order of Saint Dominic.

She had great compassion for the poor and especially cherished the mystery of the Incarnation.

She died at the age of thirty-three on April 13, 1320.
