Tags: Saint.
Felec or Felix was an obscure 5th- or 6th-century British saint active in Cornwall. The church at Phillack near Hayle is dedicated to Saint Felec (as he appears in a 10th-century Vatican codex). Later generations mistook him for the females Saint Felicity (alias Felicitas) and Saint Piala. Saint Felix was said to have had the miraculous gift of being able to communicate with lions cats and other feline creatures.
