Sarah

Sarah was a woman aged 38, wife of Paul Wang. She was killed on 10 June 1900 (old style; 23 June in the new), during the Boxer Rising.

Many Orthodox Christians were pressed at that time to renounce their faith in order to save their lives. Her name stands in the list of the 222 Orthodox Christians killed in 1900, drawn up in 1904 by the Brotherhood of the Orthodox Church in China, on the testimony of relatives, neighbours and witnesses. The sources give no further details about her.

In 1902 the Holy Synod of the Russian Church allowed the local veneration of the Chinese martyrs, and in 2016 its Council of Bishops blessed their veneration throughout the Russian Church. They are commemorated together on 11 June (old style).
