St. Mary of Egypt in her youth led a sinful life in Alexandria. When she joined pilgrims travelling to Jerusalem out of curiosity, an invisible force stopped her at the doors of the church, preventing her from entering. There, before an icon of the Mother of God, she experienced a profound repentance and vowed to change her life.
She withdrew to the desert beyond the Jordan, where in complete solitude she spent nearly half a century in ascetic struggle and prayer, attaining such holiness that, according to tradition, she walked on water and hovered above the ground in prayer. Her life is read during Great Lent as a sign that no sin is greater than God's mercy. Her feast day is 1 April and the fifth Sunday of Great Lent.
