Perpetua is the patron saint of mothers (including expectant mothers and those with deceased sons) and widows. Because she was killed by a wild bovine during her martyrdom in the Roman arena, she is also the patron of ranchers and cows. Perpetua is also associated with butchers and is a patron of Carthage (now a suburb of Tunis, Tunisia) and Catalonia, Spain.
