Life
Holy Martyr Sarah of Antioch suffered at Antioch in Syria around the year 305, in the persecution of Diocletian. The surviving source is very short and says no more than her name, the place and the time of her suffering.
The name Sarah means “princess” in Hebrew. The Church counts her among the martyrs of Antioch, the city in which the disciples of Christ were first called Christians.
