Witches at a black mass by Ottaviano Dandini
The Tarasque is the dragon to which, according to legend, the southern French town of Tarascon owes its name. In the 12th century, the lore spread about the Tarasca, the monster conquered by Saint Martha (finding of the Martha relics in 1187, rebuilding of the church of Sainte-Marthe consecrated in 1197). To this day, the taming of the dragon by the Virgin is celebrated every year at Pentecost with a parade.
