Storia

Saint Barbara virgin and martyr. She is commemorated on the 4th of December.

In the X century Metafraste narrated that Barbara’s father closed her in a tower and killed her because she professed the Christianity , but he was killed from a lightning.

Probably this fact happened in Nicomedia, but the legend seems to be totally false.

She is the Patron Saint of the artillerymen, of the casters, of the firework’s producers, of the fortification and of the firefighters.

In the classic iconography she is illustrated with a tower which is often brushed from the flames and with a palma in hand.
