About this holiday

Saint Stephen's Day (historically observed) commemorates a figure venerated as a protomartyr of Christianity, documented as a deacon in early Jerusalem who faced accusations and was reportedly stoned to death. This event was also witnessed by Saul of Tarsus (the future Apostle Paul).
