SAINT FELIX, PRIEST AND CONFESSOR OF PISTOIA

A page of one of Fortunatus Hueber's
Saints' books,
"Stammenbuch..." (1693)

Saint Felix was a priest and confessor at Pistoia (Pistoria). No further information about him has come down to us. He must have lived prior to the 10th century. His mortal remains were rediscovered in A.D. 1414, and his name has also been added to the Roman Martyrology*.
