'''Saint Felicity''', also known as '''Felicitas''', was a Christian slave who was martyred alongside [[Saint Perpetua]] in Carthage in 203 AD during the persecutions under Emperor Septimius Severus. She was pregnant at the time of her arrest but gave birth to a daughter shortly before her execution. Her story, intertwined with that of Perpetua, is documented in ''"The Passion of Saints Perpetua and Felicity,"'' one of the earliest firsthand Christian martyrdom narratives. Felicity's courage and faith, especially in the face of childbirth and martyrdom, have made her a symbol of perseverance and divine strength. | '''Saint Felicity''', also known as '''Felicitas''', was a Christian slave who was martyred alongside [[Saint Perpetua]] in Carthage in 203 AD during the persecutions under Emperor Septimius Severus.
