Saints Perpetua and Felicity (believed to have died 203) are Christian martyrs of the 3rd century. Perpetua was a married noblewoman, said to have been 22 years old at the time of her death, and mother of an infant she was nursing. Felicity, her slave and pregnant at the time, was martyred with her. They were put to death along with others at Carthage in the Roman province of Africa. "The Passion of St. Perpetua, St. Felicitas and their Companions" is one of the oldest and most notable early Christian texts.
