Description She lived during the reign of the Empire of Antoninus Pius (86μ.Χ. – 161μ.Χ.) and she was the reason he stopped the persecution of Christians. Saint Paraskevi, after sharing all her property to the poor, carried out significant missionary work preaching the word of Christ. Antoninus torture of Christians during the first years of his reign, did not affect her. However, when Antoninus was blinded, Saint Paraskevi healed him and thus he changed his attitude towards the Christians.
