CONTEXT

ABSTRACT

Life of S. Felicula (+90). Felicula was a young Roman Christian virgin of the Apostolic Age and the foster sister of St. Petronilla. Together they shared the martyrdom. Felicula was convicted and persecuted under the reign of emperor Domitian because of the fact that she refused to marry a rich pagan nobleman and to renounce her faith. For this she was locked in a cell for weeks without food and then thrown into a ditch where she died.
