Feast of Saint Barbara

Santa Barbara is a Christian martyr. The place and the era in which she lived, because of the many legends arose around his name, are not clearly identifiable, but her cult is attested at the Christian communities of the East (Egypt, Constantinople) and West (Rome, France) since the VI-VII century and experienced a great popularity in the middle ages thanks to the Golden legend; removed from the General Roman calendar in 1969 because of doubts about its historicity, stays a Saint very popular due to the number of its officers (fire brigade, RN, blasters, gunners, sappers, miners, architects, etc.).
