The place was Roman Carthage in North Africa. The scene was the arena. The occasion was a festival in honor of Caesar’s birthday. The main actors were two young mothers, 22 year old Perpetua and her servant girl, Felicity. Perpetua’s infant son was still nursing. Her greatest suffering was not having her baby with her in the prison. Felicity had given birth two days earlier. This was fortunate for the Romans and a blessing for Felicity. The Romans would not condemn a pregnant woman to death because that would mean killing an innocent child. Felicity wanted to join her mistress and fellow Christians in death. Her prayer was answered when she gave birth in the prison. Perpetua, Felicity and three others had been sentenced to death because they refused to renounce their Christianity. “Can’t you say you are something else?” Perpetua’s father had pleaded with her. “Look at that pot,” Perpetua answered pointing to a vessel in their home. “Can you say that it is not a pot. So also, I am a Christian. I cannot say I am anything else.” So she and the others were condemned to death. Christians in Africa and the Middle East are still being put to death for what they believe. I won’t go into the grisly details of Perpetua and Felicity’s death. Suffice it to say that the blood thirsty crowd got the show it wanted. One detail I will mention, though. After the first assault by a wild animal, Perpetua and Felicity were knocked down onto the arena’s sand. Some in the crowd complained that they could not see the action because the girls had been thrown into a corner of the arena. Perpetua got up, dragged herself over to Felicity, and helped her up. The two then stumbled out to the center of the arena on their own so that all could see their giving witness to Christ. What would lead these two young girls to make such a sacrifice? Only their confidence that they were part of something that was far more important than everything around them. The crowd mocked them. But their jeers didn’t matter. What mattered was the spiritual. Perpetua and Felicity were absolutely convinced in the existence of the spiritual. They had complete confidence that at their baptisms they received the life of Jesus Christ. When they walked to the center of the arena, they walked not to physical death, but to eternal life, the Life of Christ. And He was there, waiting for them. We also are part of this. We are also spiritual beings who have received the Life of Jesus Christ at our baptisms. We are part of so much more than all we see around us. Easter is a time of profound celebration. We celebrate the Life that Jesus restored for us when He destroyed eternal death with His own death on the cross. We celebrate His resurrection. We share in His resurrection. We have the life of God within us. Today is not merely a celebration of something that happened 2000 years ago. This is a celebration of life, eternal life, His eternal life and our eternal lives. Today is a day of renewal. The flowers remind us that the earth is restored to its original beauty. Baptism is celebrated in today’s liturgy. We renew our baptismal promises at all the Masses of Easter. When we do this we are renewing our commitment to Jesus Christ. We are renewing our commitment to the spiritual above us, around us, and within us. We proclaim that we renounce sin. We renounce Satan. We proclaim our belief in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We proclaim our belief that God’s life within us is infinitely more important than anything the world has to offer us. We work hard to spread the Kingdom of God. We raise our children not just to be successful adults in the world, but to be children for the Lord. We are in the business of raising children for God. Easter Sunday - The Resurrection of the Lord But we are limited by our humanity. We are frail. We easily give in to sin. We cannot give up. He will give us all we need to walk to the center of the arena, to testify to the world that Jesus lives. He made the lame walk, and the dumb talk And He opened blinded eyes to see That the sun rises on His time, yet He knows our deepest desperate need. And the world waits, while His heart aches, To realize the dream. I wonder what life would be like if we let Jesus live through you and me.... © CCLI License # 2368115 That’s from a contemporary Christian song writer with the marvelous name, Big Daddy Weave. I wonder what life would be like if we let Jesus live through you and me. I know my life would be much simpler, far more joyful, and far more meaningful if I just let Jesus take control. I know our lives are overflowing with love whenever we put the Love that Became Flesh in the center of our family. Felicity needed Perpetua. She needed her mistress to help her onto her feet. And Perpetua needed Felicity. She could not give up on her own physical life until she gave her final support to her friend. We need each other. We need the support of our Christian community, our Catholic Community, to help each other walk to the center of the arena. Jesus is there in the center of the arena. He is crucified. No, wait, He is risen from the dead. He is both saving us and giving us His life. There is a countless number of others there too. Look, there is Perpetua and Felicity, and Ignatius of Antioch, and Maximilian Kolbe and John Paul II. And there’s your saintly grandmother, and your Dad who died so young, and there is Fr. John LaTondress, and Johnna and Bailee, and Lisa, and all those who have gone before us united to God. They are there calling us to them. They are calling us to the center of the arena. We pray for the courage to join them. We pray for the courage to shout out to the world, “We are Christians. We are God’s people. We live for Him. We die for Him. We live eternally.” Happy and Blessed Easter! Yours in Christ, Msgr. Joseph A.

  • Saints – Perpetua 7 October 2018 Michael Banner
    Saints – Perpetua 7 October 2018 Michael Banner Psalm 121 Reading from The Passion of Perpetua and Felicity trans. Thomas J. Heffernan You may not have heard of my saint for this evening but you’ve possibly seen her – since she is up there in the windows of the Chapel. She is at the holy end, near the altar (some of the characters down this end are a bit dodgy). And she appears with her slightly unusual attribute. Saints nearly always have attributes to make them readily recognisable: Peter carries his keys, Jerome has his lion, Andrew always appears with his X-shaped cross, St Catherine always has her wheel – and Perpetua often appears with her baby, because when she was rounded up with a few others in one of the rather random persecutions of Christians at the beginning of the third century, in Carthage, in late 202 or early 203, her baby son, who was still nursing, went along with her to prison – and he is a rather telling attribute, since her willingness to be parted from him, rather than renounce her faith, serves to signify her courage and fortitude. We heard about her final parting from that child in the reading from a document known as ‘The Passion of Saints Perpetua and Felicity’. That document purports to be the prison testimony of Perpetua, topped and tailed by an editor, who provides us at the beginning with some biographical details – that Perpetua was well born, well educated and well married, and 22 years old when she and her infant and her six companions were taken into custody – and fills us in on what happens at the end, since Perpetua obviously couldn’t complete the story of her martyrdom herself.

Lester, Department of History Committee: John Willis, Department of History Noel Lenski, Department of Classics Andy Cain, Department of Classics ABSTRACT Vibia Perpetua’s prison diary is one of the first known Christian works by a woman. Her writing survived due to continued fascination with their power, their deeply personal nature and Perpetua’s intimate descriptions of her life just before her death, as well as due to the controversies surrounding them. This thesis contextualizes the exemplary nature of Perpetua’s work by examining its differences from prior martyrological accounts, namely the Acts of the Gallic martyrs (177 AD) and the Acts of the Scillitan Martyrs (180 AD). Following this, the thesis examines the modes of gendered violence employed against Perpetua during her life and her execution in 203 AD, both from the state and from family, and her resistances to these violences.

    Philomathes Natalia and Gender-Bending in Passio Sanctorum Adriani et Nataliae ________________________________________________________________ A s Polycarp, the 84-year-old bishop of Smyrna, entered the amphitheater in preparation for his upcoming martyrdom, a voice from heaven came to Polycarp, saying, “Ἴσχυε, Πολύκαρπε, καὶ ἀνδρίζου."1 The notion of the importance of displaying masculine qualities — dominant traits such as volition, strength, leadership, and bravery — played a prominent role within martyr literature, as is evidenced in many martyr texts such as that of Justin,2 Carpus,3 and others, who not only stood for their Christian faith, but withstood various means of torture before willingly going to their own deaths. The importance of this pattern is further portrayed as the pagans accused Blandina, a female, and other male Christians of being “ἄνανδροι.”4 While Polycarp was a man and Blandina was included with the men in the accusation of their effeminacy, these instances imply that, regardless of gender, one is not only 1 “Be strong and be a man, Polycarp!” The Greek text is taken from Herbert Musurillo, “The Martyrdom of Polycarp,” in Acts of the Christian Martyrs (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1972), 9.1. Note: all quotations from martyr texts are the author’s own translation. 2 For more information about Justin Martyr and his martyrdom, see Herbert Musurillo, “The Martyrdom of Saints Justin, Chariton, Charito, Evelpistus, Hierax, Paeon, Liberian, and their Community,” in Acts of the Christian Martyrs (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1972), 42-61. 3 For more information regarding Carpus and those martyred with him, see Herbert Musurillo, “The Martyrdom of Saints Carpus, Papylus, and Agathonicê,” in Acts of the Christian Martyrs (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1972), 22-37.

  • Producing and Contesting Martyrdom in Pre-Decian Roman North Africa
    Producing and Contesting Martyrdom in Pre-Decian Roman North Africa Carly Daniel-Hughes Introduction In his defense of the Christian faith, the Apology, the Christian writer Tertullian of Carthage mocks that, while imperial officials slaughter Christians, when they spill their blood they merely swell the ranks of the faithful. “The blood of the martyrs is seed,” he retorts.1 Yet the power that Tertullian gives the mar- tyrs was not the obvious outcome of Roman violence against Christ-followers. Many people in the Roman world incurred corporeal violence at the hands of the Roman juridical system (imprisonment, torture, and in some cases, death), yet few subjected to these punishments were memorialized as martyrs. It was in the recording, retelling, and remembering of their deaths—in the attribution of cosmic and theological significance to them—that the martyrs were produced and given their dominant place in the Christian imagination.2 Tertullian (ca. 160–220 ce) was integral to this discursive effort. Along with others, such as Origen and Irenaeus, he constructed and theorized “martyr- dom,” and then promoted it to his community.3 Those who died for their religious allegiance (or who were willing to do so), these theorists held, were imitators of Christ’s passion.4 They interpreted the martyrs’ deaths in sacrificial terms and drew on biblical images and language to do so.5 Their visions of mar- 1.

  • Women and Hagiography in Medieval Christianity
    Women and Hagiography in Medieval Christianity Compiled by Thomas Head Hunter College and the Graduate Center, CUNY Sanctity is in a very fundamental way a social or institutional construct. Sanctity is an ideal which developed historically: different sorts of people were recognized as saints by Christian communities during different periods. One of the most important factors in the changing character of sanctity over the course of the middle ages was gender. The recognition of, or more importantly the failure to recognize, women as saints betrays many of the misogynist traits typical of medieval society and culture. While most medieval theologians conceded a theoretical equality between men and women in their ability to be saved, they almost uniformly saw men as more likely to practice the virtues necessary for salvation. Thus Athanasius (+373) claimed that female martyrs demonstrated how something "against nature" (that is, female bravery) could give proof of something "higher than nature" (that is, the truth of Christianity). Moreover women were excluded from the Christian clergy and thus from the callings which produced the majority of saints recognized during certain periods. Throughout the middle ages women were a distinct minority among those Christians whose reputation for holiness received public celebration and thus earned for them the title of saint. Two works which have charted the study of women and sanctity are the pioneering research of Herbert Grundmann, Religious Movements in the Middle Ages , trans. Steven Rowan (German original, 1935; Notre Dame, IN: Notre Dame University Press, 1995) and the more recent work of Caroline Bynum, Holy Feast and Holy Fast: The Religious Significance of Food to Medieval Women (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1987).

  • The Blood of Martyrs: an Exploration of the Power of Conversion Through Blood
    Hassan 1 The Blood of Martyrs: An Exploration of the Power of Conversion through Blood in the First through Fourth Centuries. M H Thesis Prospectus Hassan 2 “The Blood of the martyr is the Seed of the Church” –Tertullian, 3rd Century Christian Apologist Christianity in the Roman Empire was not what it is today. Today Christians enjoy a world-wide presence and dominate every facet of society. However, in the Roman Empire, Christians were nothing more than a small group of individuals, hunted and persecuted for their beliefs. The story of how this small sect of “Jesus Worshippers” attained dominance in the Roman Empire, although there were attempts at eradication, is one of blood. Within the blood that the victims shed, Christians and pagans alike found inspiration. Martyrdom became something to aspire to, and the rewards, very much worth the sacrifices that were made. Indeed, this idea dominated the minds of many Christians as they were put to death at the hands of Roman officials during the first through fourth centuries A.D. The reward that they sought was martyrdom, a term that developed a particular connotation to parallel the faith of the dying and the suffering that they endured. Martyrdom was something that believers sought with zealousness. They believed that by suffering for Christianity, they were gaining a place in Christ’s heavenly kingdom. In battling against the evil Roman Empire they were doing God’s work on earth.1 An account from the second century recorded by the Christian 1 As referenced in Joyce E. Salisbury’s The Blood of Martyrs’ discussion of Good vs.

Witnessing Christ in Their Bodies: Martyrs and Ascetics as Doxological Disciples1 M Thérèse Lysaught "This is my body which is given for you" (Luke 22: 19). "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me" (Mark 8: 34). Twenty-five years ago, Paul Ramsey and Don Saliers broke new ground in the conversation among academic Protestant ethicists.2 Their seminal papers, and the responses and subsequent articles contributed from a parallel session at the 1979 meeting of the American Academy of Religion/Northeast Region, sparked a new area of inquiry within religious ethics.3 By 1991, Mark Searle could list 116 separate titles in his annotated bibliography of works on liturgy and social ethics.4 When combined with related work in feminist, ecological, medical, and Jewish ethics, and updated to today, the bibliography increases exponentially. Not only did the 1979 Journal of Religious Ethics exchange generate a new conversation, it also largely set the terms of the subsequent debate. Four strands of this initial conversation can be traced. Following Margaret Farley's lead, feminist authors generally critique liturgical
