Sts. Felix and Adauctus, Martyrs

d. 303

~ +++++++ ~

Felix was a Roman priest who lived during the Great Persecution of Emperor Diocletian.

He was arrested by a prefect and brought into a pagan temple to offer sacrifice to the gods and to renounce Christianity. Felix instead prayed to the Lord, and the false idols shattered, sending the prefects into a rage. They immediately led him out toward execution.

On the way, an unknown man was inspired by Felix’s fortitude and joined him, proudly professing himself a Christian.

He was later attributed the name “Adauctus,” meaning “added one.” Both men were beheaded and now live on as blessed martyrs.


Sts. Felix and Adauctus, pray for us!
