The Significance of Saint Paraskevi
Saint Paraskevi of Rome (also Parasceva; Virgin-Martyr) 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.
This wonderful icon has been crafted on solid wood and it was carved by hand. The creator of this icon learned the canon of iconography in the workshops of the monasteries of Mount Athos, where he was taught the holy art of hagiography and hand-ageing.

We make them to be lived with: held in prayer, hung in a quiet corner, passed on.
