According to Iconium. Her parents especially revered Friday, the day Jesus suffered on the cross. To commemorate the Passion of Christ, they named their daughter Friday (in Greek, Paraskeva).
When he reached adulthood, the saint took a vow of virginity and began preaching to pagans. In the year 300, Emperor Diocletian's military leader arrived at the capital to exterminate all the believers. Paraskeva was tortured and thrown into prison, barely alive. There, God miraculously healed the saint, but this did not stop her tormentors. As a result, Paraskeva's head was severed, believers buried her body, and then people began to receive healing of spiritual and physical diseases from the relics of the great martyr.
