Life
Holy Venerable Piama of Egypt (Piamouka) refused to marry out of love for Christ and devoted herself to asceticism in her mother's house. She ate little, once every two days, and spent her time in prayer and contemplation. She had the gift of clairvoyance. She died around the year 377. The Serbian Church commemorates her on 3 March by the old calendar (16 March by the new).
