Die Akten der Hl. Perpetua und Felizitas (BKV)

2.

Es wurden junge Katechumenen ergriffen; Revokatus und seine Mitsklavin Felizitas, Saturninus und Sekundulus, unter ihnen auch Vibia Perpetua von vornehmer Geburt, fein erzogen und ehrbar verehelicht. Sie hatte einen Vater, eine Mutter, zwei Brüder von S. 330 denen einer ebenfalls Katechumene war, und einen Sohn als Säugling. Sie war ungefähr 22 Jahre alt. Diese erzählt hier selbst den ganzen Hergang ihres Martyriums, wie sie ihn mit eigener Hand und in ihrem Sinne geschrieben hinterlassen hat.

The Passion of the Holy Martyrs Perpetua and Felicitas

1.

Chapter I.--Argument.--When the Saints Were Apprehended, St. Perpetua Successfully Resisted Her Father's Pleading, Was Baptized with the Others, Was Thrust into a Filthy Dungeon. Anxious About Her Infant, by a Vision Granted to Her, She Understood that Her Martyrdom Would Take Place Very Shortly.

The young catechumens, Revocatus and his fellow-servant Felicitas, Saturninus and Secundulus, were apprehended. And among them also was Vivia Perpetua, respectably born, liberally educated, a married matron, having a father and mother and two brothers, one of whom, like herself, was a catechumen, and a son an infant at the breast. She herself was about twenty-two years of age. From this point onward she shall herself narrate the whole course of her martyrdom, as she left it described by her own hand and with her own mind.
