'''Saint Perpetua''' was a young Christian woman martyred in [[Carthage]] in the early 3rd century during the persecution of Christians under Emperor Septimius Severus. She is one of the earliest known Christian female martyrs and is notable for her diary, ''"The Passion of Saints Perpetua and Felicity,"'' which provides one of the few firsthand accounts from an early Christian woman. Married and a new mother, Perpetua chose her faith over her life, refusing to renounce Christianity even when faced with torture and death. Her martyrdom, alongside her slave [[Saint Felicity]] and other companions, has been commemorated since ancient times, and her story continues to inspire many. | |||
