Holy bride of Christ, long-suffering martyr Paraskeva! We know that from your youth you have loved with all your soul and with all your heart the King of glory, Christ the Savior, and you have become ignorant of Him alone, having squandered all your possessions on the poor. You shone with the power of piety, chastity and righteousness like the rays of the sun, living holy among the unbelievers and fearlessly preaching Christ God. From the days of your youth, taught by your parents, you reverently honored the days of the redemptive passions of our Lord Jesus Christ, and for His sake you yourself suffered willingly. You, by the right hand of the Angel of God, were wonderfully healed from incurable wounds and received indescribable lightness, you surprised the unfaithful tormentors. You, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and by the power of your prayer in the pagan temple, having cast down all the idols, you have crushed them to dust.
You, being scorched by the lights, with your single prayer to the Almighty Lord you extinguished the natural fire, and with the same flame, miraculously kindled through the Angel of God, you burned the frantic lawless people, and you led many people to the knowledge of the True God. You, having taken beheading by the sword for the glory of the Lord, have valiantly ended your suffering feat, and with your soul you have ascended into heaven into the palace of your longed-for Bridegroom Christ, the King of Glory, who so proclaimed good will about you: Rejoice, ye righteous, like the martyr Paraskeva crowned! Likewise, we, today having come to this [your] church, joyfully offer veneration to you, and looking at your holy icon, we cry out to you with tenderness: O all-honorable Paraskeva!
We know that you have great courage in the Lord: pray to Him, the lover of mankind, for us sinners, that He may grant us patience and complacency in troubles and sorrowful circumstances, and that He may grant us a prosperous and peaceful life, health and salvation, and good haste in all things, to our most pious, most sovereign, great sovereign, Emperor Nicholas To Alexandrovich, and to the entire reigning house: May your holy blessing and peace descend upon our Fatherland, and may your holy prayers grant affirmation in faith and piety and success in Christian love to all Orthodox Christians: may he cleanse us sinners from all filth and vice: may the Angels protect us with His saints, may He intercede, preserve and have mercy on everyone with His grace, and may all of us be heirs and partakers of His Heavenly Kingdom, as through your holy prayers, the all-glorious bride of Christ Paraskeva, having increased salvation, we will glorify all the most holy and magnificent name of the True God, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, in His saints, always, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages.
