Lives of Saints Volume 5: Holy Great Martyr Saint Barbara (Paperback) - by Holy Dormition Sisterhood

Even in our own times there are many examples of parents not accepting their children’s faith in Christ. In the life of this holy Martyr we see a horrible example of the level one can reach in their hostility towards Christ. Disapproving of his daughter’s faith, Saint Barbara’s father handed her over to the governor to be tortured, and eventually went to the extreme of killing her himself. This great Saint is prayed to for help in dealing with unbelieving parents.
