Life

Felix of Pistoia (San Felice di Pistoia) was a hermit of the 9th century who lived near Pistoia in Tuscany. He is venerated as a saint in the Western Church and commemorated on 26 August. Very little is known about him.

In 1414 his relics were found in the cathedral of Pistoia and placed in a marble urn, now kept in the cathedral museum. In the district of the same name in Pistoia there is a church dedicated to him. The source at hand says nothing else.

Commemorated the same day August 26
