Barbara was beautiful and intelligent. Her wealthy father kept her like a treasure in a tower, in Heliopolis, Egypt.
One time, when her father was out of town, she ventured out of the tower and met some Christians. She immediately embraced the Christian faith.
When her father found out about her faith, he turned her over to the governor of the city to be tortured. Barbara took her stand for Christ and was tortured and killed by her own father.
The same day, lightning struck her father's house, killing both him and the governor. She suffered in 306.
