Felix

Holy Martyr Felix is one of the twelve counts and tribunes commemorated as martyrs in the Greek calendar on 24 May (new style). Their list names Didymus, Theodoriscus, Theodore, Marcellinus, Marcellus, Meletius, Sergius, Mercurius, Faustus, Festus, Felix and Photinus.

Their memory is bound to that of the Great Martyr Meletius the General. According to the synaxarion, in the time of Emperor Elagabalus (218-222), Meletius, a soldier, was condemned together with two companions, Stephen and John: Meletius was hanged and the other two were beheaded. The idolater Serapion and the sorcerer Callinicus came to believe on seeing Meletius's endurance, and were also put to death for Christ. At the sight of these martyrdoms twelve counts and tribunes believed, together with three women (Marciana, Palladia and Susanna), two infants (Cyriacus and Christian) and a multitude that the synaxarion counts as eleven thousand two hundred and eight martyrs.

The sources consulted say nothing particular about Felix beyond his name in the list of the counts and tribunes.
