Saint Paraskevi is considered in the Orthodox world as the protector of sick people. Religious icon images of the saint were considered to hold powers to help in healing from various ailments, keeping the family well, and protecting against evil intentions. There was an ancient custom in the Orthodox world of bringing fruit and vegetables to the church to sanctify them on the day of Saint Paraskevi and keep them in the house as a talisman.
