Reading from the Synaxarion:
Saint Paraskeve was born in Thrace in the eleventh century. In her
youth she went to Constaninople, and thence journeyed to the Holy Land
in pursuit of the ascetical life. After struggling for many years in
the wilderness of the Jordan, she was moved by God to return to her
homeland. She continued her monastic labours there for a few more years,
and then reposed in peace.
Kontakion in the Plagal of the Second Tone
Let us all piously praise most honourable Paraskeve, the holy
intercessor for those in affliction. For she gave up her earthly life and
received an incorruptible life for ever. Wherefore, she hath won glory
and the grace of wonderworking by the command of God.
