Sts. Perpetua and Felicity
These two Christian martyrs died for their faith in the early 3rd century. While Felicity had just given birth, Perpetua left behind a child whom she'd been nursing. They both willingly went to their deaths -- being thrown into an arena of wild animals -- knowing that God would be by their side.
