St. Barbara Medals, Saint Barbara Medallions and Pendants
 |
Saint Barbara was a beautiful young woman who was imprisoned
by her wealthy pagan father. Learning that she believed in the
Holy Trinity, he took her before the prefect of the province who
ordered that Saint Barbara be tortured and beheaded. It was by
her own father’s hand that a violent and painful death was
thrust upon this intelligent and faithful young girl. On his way
home, her cruel father was struck by lightning and consumed by
fire.
Saint Barbara is the patron saint of all firefighters, artillerymen,
and anyone who works with cannons or explosives. She is the protector
of all those in danger of sudden death while on the job.
Saint Barbara jewelry has special meaning for anyone whose patron
saint is Saint Barbara. A striking piece is the Saint Barbara
gold medal; it makes a thoughtful gift for those who put their
lives on the line.
St. Barbara charms usually depict her with a chalice in her hand,
standing near the tower.
Do you know someone who is in the military? A St. Barbara medallion
or Saint Barbara pendant would be a wonderful way to honor them.
St. Barbara medals will be a special reminder that her name can
be called upon at anytime for protection.

A Saint Barbara medal can also give comfort to anyone who feels
imprisoned by the difficulties of life. Just holding a St. Barbara
medal and comparing her struggles of imprisonment to our own struggles
can help soothe our fears and give us strength to carry on. Wearing
a St. Barbara necklace or medallion is a constant reminder of
her unyielding faith and courage and reminds us of our strength
as bestowed upon us by God.
St. Barbara medals can be used on feast day to decorate the table
and honor her day. A St. Barbara charm tied with a simple ribbon
makes a lovely napkin holder and provides your guests with a special
commemoration of St. Barbara’s day.
There are many different pieces of St. Barbara jewelry to choose
from. From Saint Barbara medals to Saint Barbara pendants there
is a holy piece that will offer protection from sudden danger.
