Life

Holy Martyr Felicitas suffered at Capua in the persecution of the emperor Decius, in the third century.

The old martyrologies commemorate her on 16 November in the Western calendar, without keeping the story of her martyrdom. She is counted a saint of the undivided Church, honoured without synodal canonization.
