This Saint Barbara prayer candle honors the early Christian virgin and martyr invoked against lightning and sudden death. It is a thoughtful gift for miners, firefighters, military families, and Catholic and Orthodox Christians.
About Saint Barbara. Barbara is venerated in the Catholic, Orthodox, and other churches. Accounts of her life appear from the 7th century, and her veneration is traced to the 9th century, mainly in the East. Historians consider the details of her life uncertain, and she was removed from the General Roman Calendar in 1969, though she remains in the Roman Martyrology and is still recognized as a saint.
Tradition. Her legend says her father locked her in a tower and later put her to death for her faith. She is often shown with a tower. She is invoked against lightning, fire, and sudden violent death, and she is the traditional patron of miners, artillerymen, and others who work with explosives.
Choose this candle for a miner or tunnel worker, a firefighter, a soldier or an artillery veteran, or anyone who wants Saint Barbara's prayers for protection.
