Sts. '''Perpetua and Felicitas''' were [[Martyr|martyred]] in Carthage, North Africa, on [[March 7]], 203 A.D. (or 202 A.D.), together with three companions, under Revocatus, Saturus, and Saturninus. Their martyrdom took place during the rule of Septimius Severus(193-211 A.D.), who issued an imperial decree forbidding all imperial subjects under severe penalties to become Christians. Vibia Perpetua was a young married lady of noble birth, and Felicitas was her pregnant slave. The ''Acta SS. Perpetuæ et Felicitatis'' is perhaps the most beautiful and famous of all extant (non-official) Acts of the Martyrs. It includes the autograph notes of Perpetua and Saturus, and an eye-witness's account of the martyrdom. {{stub}}
