Today, we observed the feast day of the venerable Saint Paraskeva-Petka. She was born in Epivat, a city located near Constantinople. From a young age, she held a deep love for Christ and chose to embrace an ascetic life in the Jordan desert. She advanced in her spiritual journey and became a devoted follower of Christ. Guided by an angel of God, she was instructed to return to Epivat, where she lived out the final two years of her life. Her body remains incorrupt and is revered by all the faithful. Initially, her body was kept in Constantinople, then Trnovo, Belgrade, and ultimately found its resting place in Iași, Romania. Saint Petka is a remarkable saint and a source of miracles for all who approach her with faith and reverence, seeking her assistance. Through the intercessions of Saint Petka, may the Lord Jesus Christ grant us salvation and mercy.💒☦⛪
