Durga with a black face?

Durga is not usually represented with a black face as the article says - she is always portrayed as very fair-skinned. I think the person being quoted meant Kali...--Grammatical error 05:51, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What about Sarasvati

Sarasvati which has her name from Sanskrit Sar meaning 'run, flow' & Saras meaning 'pond, pool'. It would definetely give posiblitiy that Saint Sara amongst the Catholics has a root from Hindu descending Roma converting to Christianity.

Sarasvati also has a connection with the Paramara Rajput clan. Rajputs are also believed to be a possible Indian source of the Roma prior to leaving shortly after 1000ad. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.34.227.166 (talk) 22:28, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Conflation

Sara was the name of the (Egyptian) servant of the Maries, who had tarvelled with them from Palestine. The girl from the shore who taunted the saints on their arrival was converted and on baptism took the name of Sara, to indicate that she was worthy only to serve the saints, not to live alongside them. Over time the two Saras became conflated into the one saintly figure. --HenriLobineau 11:07, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't Palestine then, Palestine was part of the Rom Province of Syria-Palistria, The biblical accounts happened in Judah/Judea which then became Roman Iudea. --Tomtom9041 17:34, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Feast Day of Saint Sarah

Having read in the second paragraph of the article that "Saint Sarah's feast day is 19th August", and not having previously heard of her, I searched for "Saint Sarah" in the online Catholic Encyclopedia, http://www.newadvent.org , and came up with nothing. I then went to www.catholic.org/saints/f_day/, which lists the feast days of all saints, major and minor, and which lists 33 saints as having an August 19th feast day. But Sarah is not among them. I then checked the rest of August and found no feast day for Saint Sarah. Next, I checked the "Calendar of Saints" article on Wikipedia itself and followed on to the "List of Saints" (also on Wikipedia). This lists saints by Anglican, Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox churches. There is a St. Sarah the Martyr, who died in about 304 CE in Antioch, but she is clearly not the Saint Sarah of this article. The list shows no other Sarahs. From this research, I have to conclude that the article in question is suspect at least as to the feast day, and perhaps as to the canonization or other recognition of this Sarah as a saint.
