INTRODUCTION
SAINT BARBARA
Introduction It is known to the common people she is the patron saint in time of danger ,from thunder-storms and fire, and later by analogy, as the protector of artillerymen and miners
. She was also called upon as intercessor to assure the receiving of the Sacraments of Penance and Holy Eucharist at the hour of death.
An occurrence of the year 1448 did much to further the spread of the veneration of the saint.

A man named Henry Kock was nearly burnt to death in a fire at Gorkum; he called on St. Barbara, to whom he had always shown great devotion. She aided him to escape from the burning house and kept him alive until he could receive the last sacraments.

A similar circumstance is related in an addition to the "Legenda aurea". In the Greek and present Roman calendars the feast of St. Barbara falls on 4 December, while the martyrologies of the ninth century, with the exception of Rabanus Maurus, place it on 16 December.





Saint Teresa Avila: it is known thatshe carried a portable statue of the Child Jesus wherever she went; she is so portrayed in the 1984 Teresa de Jesús, and shown in the movie protecting this infant statue in her many calamitous travels
