Saint Petka or Venerable Mother Paraskeva was a Christian Byzantine ascetic from the 11th century.

 

The saint was named Petka (from the Serbs) after the day of the week - Friday.

 

The day of her commemoration — Petkovdan, is celebrated on October 27, and is the sixth celebration in terms of the number of candles in Serbia.

 

The Serbian people usually call Saint Paraskeva Saint Petka, and in the Serbian coastal areas Petka Biogradska, because her relics also rested in Belgrade.

 

Along with Petkovdan, the cult of Venerable Paraskeva is also celebrated on August 8, the day of the transfer of her relics from Bulgaria to Serbia. Then another saint is celebrated, with the same name - the Holy Martyr Paraskeva of Rome. The common holiday of two saints of the same name is celebrated as Holy Friday of Thorns. Petka Trnova, because her relics were in Trnovo, but also in the Serbian Trn-palanka, about which there are records.
