Prayer to Saint Barbara
Legend Says that St. Barbara was the beautiful daughter of a wealthy nobleman named Dioscorus, who had her shut up in a tower to discourage the attentions of her numerous suitors. Upon discovering that she had become a Christian, he attempted to have her killed, but she was miraculously transported out of his reach. He then denounced her to the authorities who submitted her to torture. When she refused to renounce Jesus her father was ordered to kill her. This he did by beheading her with his own sword. All at once a bolt of lightning fell from heaven and struck him, turning him to ashes. This is the source of St. Barbara's power over thunder and lightning. The virgin martyr is the patron saint of gunners, miners and firemen. Her special symbol is a tower.
