What do they pray to the holy martyr for?
Before her death, Varvara turned to the Lord with a request to help those who would call on her after the end of her earthly life. Christ fulfilled this request, and for centuries people have been praying to the Great Martyr in difficult situations. In Rus' the saint was especially revered.
Locals believed that righteous Varvara was able to protect against sudden death, lightning strikes, drought and flood.
In addition, young girls turn to the martyr with prayer for a happy marriage, a successful outcome of pregnancy, and wisdom in raising children. Varvara also helps save marriages and protect family members from danger, especially children. Of course, turning to her helps to maintain health or recover from illnesses. Girls who bear her name are given special protection by the saint.
