Saint Felix of Cantalice, O.F.M. Cap. (†1587) was an Italian Capuchin friar of the 16th century. Felix is usually represented as holding in his arms the Infant Jesus, because of a vision he is said to have had, when the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to him and placed the Divine Child in his arms. Pope John Paul II observed that Felix is "shown bearing the Infant Jesus in his arms because in bearing the burdens of the needy he had carried in his arms the poor Christ himself." Canonized by Pope Clement XI in 1712, he was the first Capuchin friar in the history of the Order to be canonized. His feast day is celebrated on the Calendar of Saints of the Franciscan Order on May 18.
