Life
Holy Martyr Paraskeva was the fourth sister of Saint Photini the Samaritan and died by the sword. She is commemorated on 26 February (new style) in the company of the martyrs of Photini's family.
A verse of the synaxarion says that Paraskeva had her neck ready and prepared for the sword. No other details of her life have survived in the source consulted. She should not be confused with Venerable Parascheva the New.
