Saint Eulalia’s shrine in Barcelona, Spain

We were walking around the Gothic quarter in Barcelona today and came across this shrine to Saint Eulalia.

She is the patron Saint of Barcelona.

Eulalia was a 13 year old girl. A herder of geese, living under Roman rule. She was martyred brutally for refusing to stop preaching the gospel.

The festival of Saint Eulalia is held in Barcelona for a week around her feast day, which is tomorrow. (12 February)
