| St. Margaret of Scotland by Edward Burne-Jones |
History
Margaret was the daughter of the
King of England. She and her mother and sisters sailed to Scotland when warring
kings tried to take over their country. King Malcolm of Scotland fell in love
with Margaret and they were married. Malcolm was a good man and a good king,
but not a very polite or faithful. Margaret’s good example changed him and
everybody in the whole country. She taught people patiences, courtesy and good
manners. Margaret also helped make the churches beautiful, using her skills in
sewing and embroidery. She made people want to worship Christ.
Activity
Margaret was very clever about inspiring people to choose to
do the right thing. At her table, she ended every meal with a Grace Cup (also
called St. Margaret’s Blessing). After praying the Prayer After Meals, this cup
was filled with a special drink and passed around the table so everybody could
have a sip. Nobody wanted to leave before the Grace Cup, so they all developed
a good habit of praying the Prayer After Meals. You don’t need a special cup or
drink to develop this habit in your family – just start praying the PrayerAfter Meals today.
