Barbara

In the year one thousand two hundred and seventy-five there was a beautiful girl from the father of a rich merchant, and as we are today, his good reputation was an indispensable factor for his success as a merchant, so he wanted to preserve that reputation and adhere more to the teachings of the pagan religion in Rome.

And he knew how beautiful his daughter was, who made men queue to present her for marriage, including princes and the wealthy, so he prevented anyone from meeting her or talking to her before meeting him and taking approval from him first. . The rebellious Barbara got angry at her father and told him that she had free will to choose her husband how ever she wanted. She did not want her father to choose the people she would marry, and she began to reject everyone …

After the worsening of the misunderstanding between the father and his daughter, he was afraid of his travel and leaving her alone due to the circumstances of his trade, he missed the idea of ​​imprisoning her in a high tower so that no one could see her or talk to her, and therefore she did not fall in love with anyone during his absence and due to the father’s preoccupation in his business, he hired people To build the tower and provide the necessary food for it through a basket placed on the side of the tower.

One day someone left a book about Christianity in the food basket, and at that time the pagan Romans were fighting the spread of Christianity, and after Barbara read the book, she was impressed with what she had read about Christianity, and during the work of the staff on the tower they took pity on her so they allowed her to come down from the tower and talk to them. And when she got down, she asked them to build 3 windows instead of 2, starting from the principle of reading it in the Christian book, which is what they actually did.

After the father returned to the town, he thought that he had succeeded in isolating his daughter from the outside world, but he found her the one who destroyed all his idols and converted to Christianity, meaning that she committed a mistake that might lead to her. the death. . . And he converted to Christianity, then the father began to torture her and cut her skin, then they put salt in her wounds, then her father cut her head off, and it is said SHE took shelter in the power of the god…

I liked the paragraph of her imprisonment in the high tower … and you, which paragraph did you like ?? !!
