Paraskeva (Greek - Friday) is a Christian saint, a great martyr who suffered during the persecution of Christians under the Roman Emperor Diocletian for refusing to renounce the Christian faith and was beheaded by the governor of the Roman province of Iconium. Paraskeva is considered the patroness of many traditional women's occupations and trade. Since Paraskeva is the personification of Good Friday, she is often depicted with the instruments of the passion.
