Felix and Regula were brother and sister, beheaded in the third century, along with Exuperantius, for converting to Christianity.[1] Their feast day is 11 September in the Gregorian calendar,[2] celebrated on the same day using the Julian calendar (which is the 24th of September Gregorian), the 14th of Tout in the Coptic Calendar.
