| Exploring St. Barbara's church. Barbara was a christian martyr. According to tradition, she was young and attractive. Her beliefs upset her parents, so they sent her to her room - actually they locked her in a tower - but she escaped. Tired of just nagging her at the dinner table, her father beheaded her. He was immediately struck dead by lighting. | |
