"Prayer is by its very nature a dialogue and a union with God. Its effect is to hold the world together and to achieve a reconciliation with God. Prayer is the mother and daughter of tears. It is expiation of sin, a bridge over temptation, a barrier against affliction. It wipes out conflict, is the work of Angels and the nourishment of all bodiless beings. Prayer is the future gladness, an endless work, a wellspring of virtues, a source of grace, hidden progress, food for the soul, an illumination of the mind, an axe against despair, a proof of hope, sorrow done away with, the wealth of monks, the treasure of hesychasts, the reduction of anger, the mirror of progress, a demonstration of success, evidence of one's condition, the future revealed, and a sign of glory. For him who truly prays, prayer is the court, the judgment hall and the tribunal of the Lord before the judgment to come." St. John Climacus

His new name, Paul, zealous for righteousness. Tortured for the love of Christ through many trials. ‘For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.’ Philippians 1:21

Tortures such as being boiled to death, being skinned alive, torn apart at the limbs at a round wheel, being burnt alive or being fed to the dogs were only some of the unthinkable tortures that emperors of that time thought up, to rid of those who believed in Jesus Christ or those who had the thought of believing in Him cross their minds. One of these Christians was St. Paraskevi who was put to the test and overcame every trial she was put through until her very last breath, without betraying her love and faith in Jesus Christ.
