GM 🌞 just sitting outside with my coffee thinking about how I should def add another video to my Tiny Castle TikTok series about the story of St Barbara that is wild. It is not lost on me that the only reason I haven’t told this story on TikTok is that I don’t want to get a violent content warning. 😅 Basically St Barbara created a healing device while her father was gone on some crusade. When he got back he accused her of heresy and “tested” her healing device by publicly torturing her and then telling her to heal herself.
Then there’s this whole weird part where she runs away and the mountains swallow her and hide her, but eventually the father finds her and beheads her. Later she was canonized because the French insisted she performed 13 healing miracles in the name of Christ. But then she was removed in 1969 from the calendar of saintly celebrations.
The weirdest part to me is the second largest work of masonry in the world - the fortress of Fenestrelle- has a pyramid on site that bears the inscription: Saint Barbara. I’m sure it’s a coincidence. 😉 Have a good day yall.
