Saint Felix of Nola

Saint Felix of Nola

St. Felix of Nola was a Roman Catholic priest who lived in the 3rd century AD. He was born in Nola, Italy, and was known for his charitable works and devotion to the poor. During the persecution of Christians under the Roman emperor Decius, Felix hid a bishop named Maximus in his home, risking his own life. For this act of courage, he was imprisoned but later released. Felix continued his priestly duties until his death around 250 AD.
