Saint Stephen the Martyr

Died:  34 

Feast day: December 26

Patronage: Altar Servers, casket makers, deacons, headaches, horses, masons, Italy

Stephen, traditionally regarded as the Protomartyr, was according to the Acts of the Apostles a deacon in the early church at Jerusalem who aroused the enmity of members of various synagogues by his teachings. Accused of blasphemy, at his trial he made a long speech fiercely denouncing the Jewish authorities who were sitting in judgment on him and was then stoned to death.
