Folk calendar
Paraskeva-Friday, Woman's Intercessor
This day marks the day of Saint Paraskeva, a Christian great martyr who lived in the 3rd century in Asia Minor.
The nickname Friday is a translation of the name Paraskeva (the parents named their daughter that because they revered Friday – the day of the Lord's suffering on the cross). In addition, the veneration of Paraskeva in Rus' was combined with the cult of the Slavic deity Friday, the patroness of women and mothers. If a saint's name day fell on the fifth day of the week, it was considered a special holiday. In any case, the week in which Paraskeva’s day fell was called Pyatnitskaya week.
There were many signs associated with Friday, as a day of the week. For example, they said that those who laugh a lot on Friday will cry a lot in old age. On this day you could neither wash your hair nor bathe your children. At the same time, if a child was sick, he was brought to Paraskeva to the spring to wash away all his illnesses.
Paraskeva-Pyatnitsa was considered a “woman's saint”, the patroness of family and marriage. It was to her that the girls asked in their prayers the question of how to get married in order to live happily, and asked for help in this matter: “Friday-Praskoveya, show me the groom as soon as possible.” They also prayed to Paraskeva for home well-being and protection from disease.
The saint was a helper in women's affairs and concerns. Usually they did not work on her day; it was especially forbidden to wash clothes and spin thread. It was only possible to crumple and fray the flax. They even organized special linen shows: the frayed first linen was shown to each other, showing off their skill. The girls tried to show their skills to their grooms and future mothers-in-law.
