Life
Saint Felix is a saint of North Africa from the time of the great persecution, around 304. His name appears in the old Latin lists as "Felix Carthaginiensis", that is Felix of Carthage, and he is entered among the martyrs.
The sources at hand say nothing reliable about his life and death. In the year 304, in proconsular Africa, many Christians were arrested for gathering on Sundays for the Divine Liturgy; the sources do not show, however, whether Felix was among them. He is honored as a saint of the undivided Church.
