Felicity was a young, pregnant slave imprisoned during the reign of Severus. Along with Perpetua and several companions, she was sentenced to the arena for refusing to recant her Christian faith. Apart from the darkness and stench of the prisons, she suffered from an additional agony; pregnant women were prohbited from execution under Roman law. As much as she loved her child, she feared that she would be left behind and be martyred alone, without her companions. On the eve of death, she went into early labor, and the child was sent into safekeeping with a Christian matron. She survived the goring of a maddened cow in the arena, and was finally sent to Christ by a gladiator.
