EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic image of St Barbara, a revered Christian martyr who lived during the 3rd century. The portrait, created in 1886 by an unknown artist, beautifully captures her essence and significance within Christianity. St Barbara's story is one of strength and devotion. Legend has it that she was confined to a tower by her father to protect her from suitors. During her time in isolation, she demonstrated unwavering faith by adding a third set of windows to symbolize the Holy Trinity. In this portrait, St Barbara stands regally adorned in a vibrant dress and crown, representing her noble status as a saint. A halo encircles her head, signifying her divine connection and holiness. Her gaze exudes determination and resilience, reflecting the courage she displayed throughout her life. As the Patron saint of arsenals and artillery, St Barbara holds great importance for those involved in warfare or protection against lightning strikes. She serves as an inspiration for believers facing challenges or seeking guidance during tumultuous times. Published within Butlers Lives of the Saints by Rev Alban Butler in London & Dublin during the late 19th century, this print preserves both history and religious devotion. It allows us to appreciate not only St Barbara's remarkable story but also the artistic talent that brought this portrayal to life.
