Life

Holy Hieromartyrs Narcissus and Felix are honoured at Girona in Catalonia: Narcissus was bishop of the city and Felix his deacon. They were put to death for Christ around the year 307, in the persecution of Diocletian. A tradition says that during the persecution Bishop Narcissus took refuge at Augsburg, in the house of Saint Afra, whom he brought to the faith; this account is legendary and comes from the late acts of that saint. Narcissus and Felix are saints of the undivided Church, commemorated on 18 March (new style; 31 March in the old style).
