St Pisentius lived before the Arab invasion of Egypt. He became a monk at an early age and showed great zeal in his spiritual life and in learning and memorising the books of the Bible. He was later ordained Bishop of Qift in Upper Egypt.

His feast is celebrated on the 13th day of the Coptic month of Abib.
