Description

Edit: Wow, it's been forever since I do something for me with an actual effort. I feel tired but happy and now I can resume working .


Well, my friend Angel suggested to look for drawings and images for inspiration. Not necessarily the inspiration I wanted, but heck I am glad to begin to draw.


St. Perpetua and Felicitas were from Carthage and it is speculated that they died in 209 CE. Perpetua, a wealthy Roman citizen that had a child, made a diary while she was prison and was written by her brother later on when she was executed for not celebrating the pagan rites and did not recant. Felicitas was a slave that also died with Perpetua. The 2nd to the 5th Century were the centuries of the martyrs and will later on there will be known cults around them.

Hi! I'm part of a Christian theatre troupe, and one of our repertory shows is a musical adaptation of Perpetua's diary, adapted by one of our members. (So far I've played Felicitas and Dinocrates.) If you're interested, you can learn about our work at www.stillsmalltheatre.com/ and see clips and trailers on our YouTube channel. www.youtube.com/channel/UCem2Z…

Why thank you. The prison diary of Perpetua was one of the most fascinating reads I had from the saints in early Christianity. And Felicitas was just so determined to become a martyr.
