примечания:

Paraskeva (St. Petka) spoke persuasively and brought many people to forsake their pagan idols and commit themselves to the true God. Her success as a missionary eventually brought her to the attention of the Emperor, Antoninus Pius. He summoned Paraskeva to the palace, and when, in spite of various threats and coaxing, she refused to denounce her faith in Jesus Christ, she was put to the cruelest tortures. Finally, she was thrown into a vat of boiling oil and pitch. Seeing her standing in the vat as though it were a bath of fresh water, the Emperor asked if she had employed some magic to cool the oil. In response, Paraskeva scooped up some of the boiling oil and tossed it towards the Emperor, telling him to test it himself. Some of the burning liquid splashed into his eyes and blinded them. Screaming out in pain, the Emperor begged the servant of God to heal him. Paraskeva called aloud upon the name of the Lord, and instantly the Emperor regained his sight. Because of that, Saint Paraskeva is venerated as a healer of the blind.

Paraskeva continued her missionary labours, everywhere spreading the holy Gospel. In one city, she was brought to trial before the ruler Tarasios. He subjected her to various tortures, but when he saw that nothing would persuade her to deny Christ, he ordered that the saint's head be cut off with a sword. She received her martyr's wreath in about the year 180. The martyr's holy remains were later taken to Constantinople, where they were venerated by the faithful.

P.S.
This is tha same church I posted earlier,... only from different angle.
