Career
She was a hermit and followed a life dedicated to strict asceticism for some sixty years. Sarah is said to have dwelt in a monastic cell near a large river, likely the Nile, at which she would never look. Her sayings attest that this saint spent her life battling a demon that tempted her to fornication.
Records indicate that Sarah lived near Skete in the early to mid-5th century.
Sarah is commemorated on 13 July in the Eastern Orthodox and Catholic Churches.
