St. Barbara's Patron Saint
During the 3rd century, St. Barbara lived as the daughter of a rich heathen named
Dioscuros. Jealous of her beauty, her father built a tower with solid walls and
imprisoned her there. Her only request was that there be "three windows because
they would betoken God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, the
three persons in one true God that we ought to believe and worship. [eng]

Saint Barbara
When Barbara was a little girl, her wicked father imprisoned her in a high tower. So Barbara lived in the tower with only the servants who cared for her. And she
was very good. One day a priest passed under her tower. He was singing about Jesus Christ. Barbara heard him. She asked him about his song. He told her all
about the Savior. Barbara was overjoyed. "I love Jesus too," she cried. "I am a Christian." [eng]
