== Life Viaţa ==Saint Paraskevi, The Parthenomartyr, (July 26th), was born in Sfânta Parascheva Romana s-a village near Rome during the reign of născut într-un sat din apropiere de oraşul Roma în vremea domniei împăratului Hadrian (117-138 ADd.Hr.). Her parents were the pious [[Christians]] Agathonikos Părinţii ei, pe nume Agatonic (Agathonsau Agaton) and Politea. Her parents prayed fervently for şi Politeia, creştini evlavioşi, s-au rugat cu stăruinţă pentru a childavea un copil, and iar [[GodDumnezeu]] finally blessed their piety. They gave great honor to Friday, the day of Our Lord's suffering. Being born on this day, her parents named her Paraskevi ("Friday" in Greek, but literally "preparation"). St Paraskevi obtained an excellent education from both secular and Scriptural instructors. She was also very knowledgeable in the field of philosophy. Bolstered by her Christian upbringing, she often conversed with other women about Christianity, trying to strengthen their faith in this new religion.Many distinguished families wanted this beautiful, educated and rich woman to marry their sons. Her understanding and kindness made her even more desirable. However having a higher goal in life, St Paraskevi rejected any marriage proposals. When she was 20 years old, both her parents died 1eaving her as the sole heir to the family fortune. St Paraskevi did not use her fortune for herself. Filled with the spirit of Christ and Christian ideals, she sold all her worldly possessions using the money to relieve human suffering. There was a portion retained to a community treasury that supported a home for reverent virgins who stayed in a kenobion, a type of commune like a contemporary monastery. These women prayed and fasted doing charitable works. They preached primarily to Hebrew and idol worshiping women giving them an opportunity to learn about Christian salvation. She left Rome at the age of 30 and began her holy mission, passing through many cities and villages. St Paraskevi’s activities occurred during a period that the Jews and Romans persecuted the Christian religion with the greatest intensity.

Antoninus however had to repeal this law because of the many disasters which had befallen Rome and which were blamed on the Christians. Strong in faithpătimit Domnul nostru Iisus Hristos, learning, and eloquence, Paraskevi spoke persuasively to her fellow Roman citizens, leading them from idolatry to faith in Christ. Eventually, Antoninus heard of St. Paraskevi'şi întrucât sfânta s holy mission. Upon her return to Rome, several Jews filed complaints about her and Antoninus summoned her to his palace to question her. Attracted by her beauty and humility he tried with kind words to make her denounce her faith, even promising to marry her and make her an empress. Angered by her refusal he had -a steel helmetnăscut intr-o zi de vineri, lined with nails and compressed on her head with a vice. It had no effect on the Saint and many who witnessed this miracle converted to Christianity.
