63 - THE YOUNG MOTHER SACRIFICED FOR CHRIST | Vibia Perpetua (Noblewoman & Christian Convert) | Roman Empire

On the day of their execution, Vibia and Felicity were led into the arena.

Vibia was forced to wear a pagan costume, one that a priestess-prostitute in the pagan temples would wear. She tore the pagan robes off her body declaring she had come freely in the name of her Lord and God.

Then, the gates were opened. An enraged, tormented cow charged them.

Vibia Perpetua, trying to protect Felicity, was hurled into the air, landing violently on her back. She rolled to her knees and gathered her clothing around her trying to preserve her modesty.

Bleeding and shaken, she stood once more, still protecting Felicity.

The crowd was touched by Vibia’s courage. Just moments before they were a screaming mob with blood in their eyes. Now they stood to honor her, many with tears on their cheeks.

To the last, Vibia Perpetua demonstrated her determination to stand for her faith, for truth, no matter the consequences.
