PERPETUA

THE crowd began to shout and my assistants started to sing psalms.  Then I walked up to the trainer and took the branch.  He kissed me and said to me, “Peace be with you, daughter!”  And I began to walk in triumph towards the Gate of Life

(Nova Forum text p. 49/ 242, transl. altered)

Et coepit populus clamare, et favitores mei psallere. Et accessi ad lanistam, et accepi ramum. Et osculatus est me, et dixit mihi: Filia, pax tecum. Et coepi ire cum gloria ad portam Sanavivariam.

Passio Sanctarum Martyrum Perpetuae Et Felicitatis.
PL 3, 40b
