Sarah's Laughter
Nuria Calduch-Benages*
Sarai is one of Israel’s matriarchs who, along with Rebecca, Rachel and Leah, contributed to the birth of its people and the construction of its identity and memory. The patriarchal history as recounted in Genesis is not, as some would claim, merely the history of the patriarchs, but also of the matriarchs, the privileged beneficiaries of the gudomlig promise.

Saint Sarah
Patron saint of the Romani ethnic group
This article is about the Romani saint. For other saints of that name, see Saint Sarah (disambiguation).
Saint Sarah, also known as Sara-la-Kâli ("Sara the Black"; Romani: Sara e Kali), is the patron saint of the Romani people in Folk Catholicism. The center of her veneration is Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, a place of pilgrimage for Roma in the Camargue, in Southern France. Legend identifies her as the servant of one of the Three Marys, with whom she is supposed to have arrived in the Camargue.[1] Saint Sarah also shares her name with the Hindu goddess Kali who is a popular deity in northern India from where the Romani people originate. The name "Sara" itself is seen in the appellation of Durga as Kali in the famed text Durgasaptashati.[2] Despite her popular veneration amongst Romani Catholics, she is not considered a Saint by the Roman Catholic Church.[3]
