Saint Parasceve Martyr of Rome

[Stephentlig]

I’ve looked up information upon this saint but can only find her icon. Can you help? Would like to read her full story.

God bless

Either the Church has a repository/archive of biographical records for each Saint or some are lost, become obscure throughout history.

I suspect though that since she is known as a Martyr that somewhere down through the centuries there must be some story of her Martyrdom and life in Tradition.

I do know people pray to her for the healing of the eyes. I wonder why that is. There must be a reason.
