St. Barbara's Chapel
This Chantry Chapel is located within the Church of Saint Boniface, Antwerp, Belgium.
It has been constructed from furnishings and stained glass windows taken from the now demolished Chapel of St. Barbara at the British Army base at Emblem near Antwerp.
When the base was handed back to the Belgian government, the chapel had to be closed as the Belgian government saw that as the logical consequence of its policy of evenhanded treatment of all reliogions.
The Chapel now serves as
1 a traveling goal for military families who want to trace their roots or family history;
2 as a Chapel of Remembrance, in connection with the Antwerp Branch of the Royal British Legion;
3 A Place of Prayer for Peace.
Saint Barbara
Her attributes are a tower, as she spent much time as a recluse in a tower.
As she was once indirectly saved by a thunderbolt, she has also become the patron of gunners and artillery.
