Introduction to the Martyrdom of Perpetua and Felicitas

This work is the oldest surviving work by a Christian woman, Viva Perpetua. She recorded her experiences as a Christian martyr around AD 210. Her companions in martyrdom were Felicitas (Felicity), Felicitas' husband Revocatus, Saturus (who was not convicted by the Romans but voluntarily joined them), and their fellow catechumens: Saturninus and Secundulus. Perpetua was so committed to God that she was not persuaded by her Father to deny God and sacrifice to the Romans gods or Caesar. Even when she had undergone many sufferings and tortures, when her clothes were torn, she covered herself to remain modest. In her story, Perpetua describes a vision where she saw her dead brother in agony. She prayed for him, then later saw him refreshed. This is an early Christians example of praying for the dead. -- Download the Martyrdom of Perpetua and Felicitas in PDF here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?i...
