Saints celebrated on the 3rd of February
SAINT FELIX, BISHOP OF LYON
Some writers refer to Saint Felix as bishop of Lyon (Lugdunum), but the Bollandists* reckon him to be the African Martyr of the day. Meanwhile, on February 3, the Roman Martyrology* lists a Saint Felix as bishop of Lyon, along with the bishop Lupicinus from that city.
