Saint Felix of Nîmes is honored as a 4th-century bishop and martyr from Nîmes, France. His feast day is 27 July.[1]
There was a see at Nîmes as early as 396, when a synodical letter was sent by a Council of Nîmes to the bishops of Gaul. Jules Igolin writes that Nîmes became the site of a bishopric by the fourth century and that its first bishop was Saint Felix of Nîmes (St Félix), who was martyred around 407AD. Other writers also affirm that a certain St. Felix was Bishop of Nîmes and martyred by the Vandals about 407, but Louis Duchesne questions this.[2]
Felix is said to have been succeeded by Sedatus who had served under him.[3] The first bishop whose date is positively known is Sedatus, was present at the Council of Agde in 506.[2] Sedatus was prélat of Nimes until c.506AD.[4][5][6][7]
