The Passion of the Holy Martyrs Perpetua and Felicity: II
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 August 2024
Extract
Next we have a description of St Saturus’ vision, written by himself.
We had suffered (he wrote) & we left the body & started being carried towards the East by 4 Angels whose hands weren't touching us. We weren't going up lying face-upwards but rather like going up a gentle slope. And once we were clear of the world below we saw an immense light & I said, ‘Perpetua (as she was just beside me), this is what the Lord promised us, we've really got the Promise.’ And while we were being carried by those 4 Angels a huge Place opened out in front of us which was like a kind of Park with rose-trees in it & flowers of all sorts. The trees were big as cypresses & their leaves were burning away non-stop. Now there in the Park were 4 other Angels brighter than the first lot who when they saw us paid us homage & called to the other Angels in astonishment ‘Look, they're here, they're here.'
