DECEMBER 27
FEAST DAY OF SAINT STEPHEN (FIRST MARTYR)
|
| Saint Stephen became a follower of Christ at a very young age. He preached the message of salvation with great enthusiasm and Christian courage. This invariably caused the anger of those who were Jealous of Christ and his Apostles. The mobs of unbelievers seized Stephen as he spoke at the synagogue and brought him outside the gates of Jerusalem where he was stoned to death. Therefore, he was the first person to give his life for Christ and Is forever known as Saint Stephen the Protomartyr, which means the first martyr. |
