Saint of the Day
Our Holy Mother Mary of Egypt (4th-6th c.)
Her radiant life is also commemorated on the Fifth Sunday of the Great Fast. The Life of St Mary of Egypt, written by St Sophronios of Jerusalem, is read in its entirety on the Thursday of the Great Canon during Lent. Click on the link to read it.
The date of her repose is very unclear: it is given variously as 378, 437, and 522.
