Readings Psalm 126 * Psalm 127 * Psalm 143 * Genesis 21:1–21 * Mark 6:35–56 * Formula of Concord: Solid Declaration, II, 9–13 CommemorationToday we commemorate Perpetua and Felicitas, Martyrs*. In the third century AD, Roman Emperor Septimus Severus forbade converting to Christianity. Among the many who disobeyed his edict were Perpetua and Felicitas, a noblewoman and her maidservant. During their imprisonment, they witnessed to others in prison, even the jailer, who himself became a Christian. Executed on 07 March 203, Perpetua and Felicitas are remembered for the firmness of their faith — even unto death.
