Life
Holy Martyr Saturninus was a Christian of Carthage condemned to death under Septimius Severus and martyred on 7 March 203, together with Saints Perpetua and Felicitas.
According to the account of their passion, Saturninus, Revocatus and Secundulus were in prison with Perpetua; according to some sources they were her servants, according to others a craftsman, a farmer and a priest. Before the judge they refused to offer sacrifice to the emperor. In the amphitheatre Saturninus and Revocatus were mauled by a leopard and a bear. Their story is preserved in the Acts of Saints Perpetua and Felicitas. He is commemorated on 7 March, in the Western calendar, as a saint of the undivided Church.
