St. Barbara of Nicomedia is one of several legendary saints. She may or may not have ever existed. However, the traditions that have been passed down to us tell us that she was a beautiful, wealthy and well educated young woman as well as a Christian. Her father did not want her to continue her life as a Christian so held her prisoner in a tower trying to "brain wash" her into changing her mind and return to worshiping pagan gods. She eventually escaped but was recaptured. At this point her father lost patience and denounced her to the Roman authorities as a Christian. She was tortured and martyred for her faith.
Whether Barbara existed or not is not as important as she still makes a great role model to follow.
