                    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.
