[2] 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.
[3] She lived a life of severe asceticism, refusing wine, laughter, or to leave her cell except to attend church.
Sarah is honored (with Theodora and Syncletica) on the liturgical calendar of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America[5] on January 5.
