MARIA MARGARITA GEIGER, VIRGIN
Maria Margarita Geiger, from Freiburg in Breisgau, was professed on September 9, 1715, at the monastery of the Poor Clares.
She then became prioress and mistress of novices, led an extraordinarily strict life, heroically overcame the greatest temptations and died in 1738 on Good Friday afternoon 3 p.m. (Perhaps she is the same person as Maria [March 21]?) (J.M.R.)
