My great-grandmother, Mary Patrick (Paruska Hawryluk):
"Paruska" is Paraska. Paraska is a short form of Paraskoviya/Paraskeva. A very popular name among Rusyns/Ukrainians. Many girls born on Friday are given that name...from Greek paraskeve which means Friday or Day of Preparation...preparation day mentionedin the Gospel in which the legs of the thieves were broken, Christ already expired.
