The Tarasque, a legendary monster from Provençal folklore, terrorized the town of Nerluc in Provence, France, with its dragon-like appearance and lethal breath.
After numerous attempts, the monster was subdued and led back to the town by a Christian woman named Martha.
This story symbolizes Christianity's triumph over paganism and evil, and Martha became the patron saint of Tarascon.
Today, festivals celebrating St. Martha's victory over the Tarasque continue in Tarascon, featuring parades with an effigy of the beast.
