St. Perpetua & St. Felicity – The Mothers Who Defied Rome
In the year 203, two women in Carthage — one noble, one slave — stood before the might of Rome. Perpetua, a young mother of noble birth, and Felicity, an enslaved woman heavy with child, were bound together by faith in Christ. Arrested under imperial decree, they faced prison, visions of heaven, childbirth in chains, and the fury of the arena.
Their courage shook the empire. Their witness still speaks today.
In this episode of Voices of the Saints, journey with us through the gripping story of St. Perpetua and St. Felicity, whose love for Christ proved stronger than fear, stronger than empire, and stronger than death.
