Having loved the deserted and silent life,/ and following Christ, your Bridegroom, having zealously flowed,/ and His good yoke in your youth, having taken up,/ With the sign of the cross to your mental enemy Having armed yourself with courage, / with feats of fasting, fasting, and prayers, and teardrops / you extinguished the embers of passions, the illustrious Paraskevo: / and now in the Heavenly Devil / with standing before Christ as wise virgins, // pray for us who honor your honorable memory.
