Nameday on the 4th of December

Just opposite of town,

Agia Varvara;
Alle kolonialbutikkers skythelgen, samt beskytterinnen for barn mot kopper.

Fra Kypros.org
en interesant historie;
"Kvinner pleide å ta litt støv skrapet av kanten (veggen) rundt ikonet, de mikset det i kollyva (kokt hvete som tilbys til minne om en død person) og så tok de denne miksturen og blandet den i  pitoura (høne fòr). Ved å gjøre dette håpet de at hønene ville bli kureret fra alle sykdommer de led av."

Agia Varvara;
The patron saint of the grocery stores, and the protectress of children against smallpox.

From Kypros.org
an interesting story; "Women would take a little dust scratched from around the Icons edges (wall), they would mix this in with the kollyva (boiled wheat offered in remembrance of a dead person) and then they would take this mixture and put it in with the pitoura (chicken feed). By doing this they hoped the chicken would be cured from any decease that they were suffering at the time."

"Saint Barbara, known in the Eastern Orthodox Church as the Great Martyr Barbara, was a Christian saint and martyr. Although there is no reference to her in the authentic early Christian writings, nor in the original recession of Saint Jerome's martyrology, veneration of her was common from the seventh century. Because of doubts about the historicity of her legend, she was removed from the official Catholic calendar in 1969. However, she continues to be a popular saint in modern times, perhaps best known as the patron saint of artillerymen,  miners and others who work with explosives because of her legend's association with lightning." Wikipedia

"Sankt Barbara, kjent i den østre ortodoxe kirken som den Store Martyr Barbara, var en kristen sankt og martyr. Selv om det ikke er noen referanse til henne i de autentiske tidligere kristne skrifter, heller ikke i de orginale nyere Stank Jeromes martyrologi, aktelse avhenne var vanlig fra den syvende århundrede. På grunn av tvilen av hennes historie, ble hun tatt vekk fra den offentlige katolske kallendrene i 1969. Alikevel, fortsetter hun å være en populær helgen i moderne tider, kanskje mest kjent som helgen for artilleriet, gruvearbeidere og andre som jobber med eksplosiver fordi hennes legende assosieres med lyn."
