Life

Saints Severinus, Exuperius and Felician, Martyrs, suffered at Vienne in Gaul, around the year 170, in the time of the emperor Marcus Aurelius. They are commemorated on 19 November.

The Roman Martyrology says that after the lapse of many years their bodies were found through a revelation made by the martyrs themselves and, taken up with honor by the bishop, clergy and people, were buried with solemnity in that city. The sources consulted give no other details about their life and martyrdom. They are saints of the undivided Church.
