Life

Holy Martyr Felix of Terracina (also Filik) suffered in the Italian city of Terracina, together with the priest Eusebius, at a time that the calendar page gives as the first century or the year 268. Their commemoration is made together with that of the Holy Hieromartyrs Caesarius and Julian of Terracina.

According to some sources, Felix and the priest Eusebius suffered together with Caesarius and Julian. According to others, the priest Felix and the monk Eusebius buried the relics of the martyrs, were arrested, thrown into prison and beheaded the same night for refusing to sacrifice to idols. They are commemorated on 20 October (new style). Their names are not included in the present Menologion of the Russian Church.
