Saint Barbara is venerated by the Eastern Rite Christians as "Great Martyr Barbara" and she was martyred in the third century AD. She came to be venerated by the Church's of Roman and Eastern Rites from the seventh century AD. She is still venerated by the Eastern Rite Church but the Roman Catholic Church removed her name from the Litrugical Calendar of Saints during the late 1960s - the early 1970s because there is no hard historical records of her existence. There is no historical record of her surname or family name except that history suggests that her pagan father was known as Diocorus.
