Life

Saint Felix, hieromartyr, was Bishop of Spoleto, in Umbria, and was beheaded in the time of the emperors Diocletian and Maximian Herculius, around the year 304. He is commemorated on 18 May.

Sometimes it is held that Felix was a bishop not at Spoleto but in the nearby city of Spello (Hispellum) or at Spalato (Split), in Dalmatia. Our sources say no more.
