                    Barbara was the beautiful daughter of the
          pagan Dioscorus. He locked his daughter up in a tower. She converted to Christianity, and
          her father beat her and handed her over to be martyred. Her example inspired another
          Christian woman, Juliana, to come
          to her aid. Both women were martyred.
