The miners’ saint…

Construction began in the 1500s and completed in 1905; preserved ever since those times. Those centuries of design are evident in the abundance and variety of religious art treasures. Copyright 2019 Pamela Breitberg

St. Barbara is the patron saint of miners, in particular the silver miners that once populated Kunta Hora. Here is a statue honoring the working silver Miner. Note the leather strap attached to a leather fabric behind the Miner that served as a sled down into the mine’s entrance to begin each day’s work. Copyright 2019 Pamela Breitberg
