november 2. difunta correa, whose breast was ever-full

Local villagers saw birds of prey circling the hilltop, and four days later, gauchos found her still corpse under a carob tree while driving cattle through the region. They were shocked to find the living infant was still suckling.

NOVEMBER 8. perpetua, who was martyred with her slave and/or lover

On the day of their execution, Felicitas and Perpetua held hands. In response to the prisoners' prayers, Felicitas gave birth to her daughter prematurely, and she rejoiced to be killed with her companion. "They marched from their cells to the amphitheater as if into heaven. [ . . .] If they trembled it was for joy and not fear."

On her wedding night, when the couple had retired to their wedding chamber, Cecilia told her husband that she was betrothed to an angel who jealously guarded her body; therefore, he must take care not to violate her.
