Santa Marta de Pateros
Santa Marta de Pateros is a title given to the biblical figure Martha of Bethany based on the belief that Martha appeared in the village of Pateros in the Philippines in the 17th century.
==Legend==
The legend says that Saint Martha (the saint who tamed the Tarasque) answered the prayers of the people of Pateros to help them with a giant crocodile that was pestering the river of Pateros by attacking the ducks. At that time, during the 1700s, ducks (whose eggs are used to make the local delicacy (''balut'')) were abundant in the river through Pateros. In Tagalog, the word for duck is "pato"; the people doing duck raising are thus "pateros". The people of Pateros sought the intercession of St. Martha to eliminate the crocodile. One evening, under a full moon, a ''bayani'' (local hero/unknown) was on his way to the river to slay the creature when he saw a brilliant light showing the figure of the beloved saint. Since then, the creature was never seen again and the duck industry flourished. The people of Pateros attributed this miracle to Saint Martha and a grand fluvial celebration was held to commemorate this since then.
