A throws package of 20 pairs of earrings made from the sequins used to make our parade dragon, Adversaire. The dark green oblong sequin underneath covers most of his body, and the round iridescent transparent sequin on top comes from his belly. Hypoallergenic earring hooks with backs. These earrings really dance and catch the light! Packaged in a convenient cello envelope with a St. Margaret playing card. Why do we have a dragon in our historical parade? As stated on the back of the playing card: "Under orders from God, Joan of Arc (1412-1431) led the losing French army to a comeback victory against the English. Joan heard God’s voice through 3 personas: Saint Michael the Archangel, Saint Catherine of the Wheel, and Saint Margaret the Virgin. Legend says brave Margaret (300 A.D.) refused a Roman governor’s marriage proposal because he asked her to renounce Christianity. The angry governor had her swallowed by a dragon, but Margaret escaped alive when her cross irritated the dragon’s innards. Ultimately, her story was declared apocryphal. but in Joan’s day she was a popular saint. In old stories, dragons symbolize the devil, and our dragon’s name is “Adversaire,” French for The Adversary."
