The Holy Hosiomartyr Paraskevia (?) The holy martyr Paraskevia, whose name signifies "Preparation", she was born of pious parents named Agathon and Politia in a market town in the vicinity of Rome. She was called Paraskevia because she was born on a Friday (in Greek "paraskeve"). Having learned the reading of the Holy Scriptures from her youth, she led a retired life applied to meditating on the divine Word and converting a great number of infidels to Christ's faith. She was seized in the time of Emperor Antoninus the Pious and as she was commanded to adore idols, she answered with these words of the prophet Jeremia (Jeremia 10:11): "Let the gods that did not make heaven and earth perish from the earth." She was beheaded after cruel tortures around the year 140 .
