According to the tradition Barbara was the daughter of a body guard of the emperor. During the persecution of Christians, he wanted her to marry the youth of the imperial court. She was locked in a tower and she confessed to Christianity. She was tormented, in order to remove her believes. In the end, she was decapitated by her own father.
