Information
St. Perpetua, a young upper class married woman, was martyred in Carthage in 203 A.D for being a professed Christian. She was martyred under the persecution of Emperor Severus along with Felicity, her slave, and others. She would not deny her faith even at her father's pleading. She was thrown by a cow and then pierced by the sword of a gladiator.
