The all-wise and all-validated martyr of Christ Paraskeva,/ having accepted the strength of men,/ having rejected the weakness of women,/ defeated the devil and the tormentor to shame,/ crying and saying:/ Come, cut off my body with a sword and burn it with fire, / for I, rejoicing, go to Christ, my Bridegroom. / Through prayers, O Christ God, / save our souls.
