About Saints Perpetua and Felicity

Saints Perpetua and Felicity are revered as early Christian martyrs who lived in the early 3rd century. Their story is particularly poignant and is recorded in a text known as the “Passion of Saints Perpetua and Felicity,” which is one of the earliest accounts of Christian martyrdom.

Perpetua was a noblewoman from Carthage, and Felicity was her slave. Both women were arrested for their Christian faith during a time of persecution under the Roman Empire.

Perpetua was a young mother, and her writings reflect her deep faith, struggles, and the bond she shared with her fellow prisoners. Felicity, who was pregnant at the time of their arrest, faced her own challenges, including the fear of giving birth in prison.

Their steadfastness in faith, despite the threat of death, became a source of inspiration for early Christians. Both women were ultimately martyred in 203 AD, with their courage symbolizing the triumph of faith over fear.

They are celebrated together on March 7 in the liturgical calendar, and their legacy continues to inspire many, especially women facing trials and persecution for their beliefs.
