Perpetua and Felicity

Perpetua and Felicity (or Felicitas) were the two earliest recorded female Christian martyrs, believed to have died 203. The Passion of St. Perpetua, St. Felicitas, and their Companions is one of the oldest non-canonical early Christian texts. It survives in both Latin and Greek forms, and contains the actual prison diary of Perpetua. Perpetua was married to a nobleman with an infant and Felicity was her pregnant slave.  They were imprisoned for being baptized as Christians, before eventually going to the amphitheater for games in celebration of Emperor Geta's birthday. On the way in to the amphitheater, they were scourged by a line of gladiators before having a wild cow attack them. They were then finished by the sword.
