Something wrong?She's the patron saint of the Romani people, venerated in folk practice but never canonized by Rome - a figure whose name echoes both the Hindu goddess Kali and a legendary servant who arrived in southern France with the Three Marys.

About this person
Legend places Sarah as the servant of one of the Three Marys, arriving with them in the Camargue region of what is now southern France. Her veneration centers on Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, a pilgrimage site in the Camargue that draws Romani Catholics from across Europe. Known as Sara-la-Kâli - "Sara the Black" - her name carries a double resonance: it appears in the Durgasaptashati text as an appellation of the goddess Durga as Kali, a popular deity in northern India, the region from which the Romani people trace their origins. Despite widespread devotion in Romani communities, the Roman Catholic Church has never recognized her as a saint. She remains a figure of folk Catholicism, held in the gap between official doctrine and lived faith.
