Day 184 -- Saints Felicity and Perpetua
Today we remember two saints, Felicity and Perpetua, who were friends and died, martyred, together. Felicity was a laywoman and maid to Perpetua. Perpetua was born into a noble, pagan family. She was a wife and mother. Both converted to Christianity. They were martyred together by being mauled by wild beasts and were beheaded on March 7, 203 in Carthage, North Africa.
