Paraskevi Of Rome
Saint Paraskevi of Rome (also Parasceva) is venerated as a Christian martyr of the 2nd century. She was arrested and tortured under the reign of the Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius for her refusal to worship idols. Though he eventually released her after she performed a miracle which cured him of his blindness, she was arrested on multiple later occasions for her Christianity and was eventually beheaded by the Roman governor Tarasius. She is invoked for the healing of ailments to the eyes. The Church commemorates her on July 26. Life Early life Paraskevi was born in a village near Rome, likely during the reign of the Roman Emperor Hadrian (117-138 AD).

Paraskevi Of Iconium
Saint Paraskevi of Iconium (also known as ''Paraskeva Pyatnitsa'') is venerated as a Christian virgin martyr. According to Christian tradition, she was born to a rich family of Iconium. Her parents were Christian, and Paraskevi was named as such (the name means "Friday" in Greek) because she was baptized on a Friday and because Friday was the day of Christ's Passion.

Veneration An account of her martyrdom was written by John of Euboea.
