DW | Holy Saints - Perpetua & Felicity

DW World History

A document from the early Church called “The Passion of Saints Perpetua and Felicity” was so popular in the North African church that St. Augustine complained that it was more widely read than the Gospels. Perpetua was a prosperous young woman, married and the mother of a newborn son, who lived in Carthage in the late second century. Despite threats of persecution and death, Perpetua, Felicity (a slave and expectant mother), and their companions, Revocatus, Secundulus, Saturninus, Saturus, and Rusticus, refused to renounce their Christian faith. As a result, they were arrested and sent to prison to await trial.
