The saint behind the name
Stephen the First Martyr
December 27, Martyr, Στέφανος Πρωτομάρτυς
St. Stephen, the Protomartyr and Archdeacon, was one of the seven deacons chosen by the Apostles to serve the first church in Jerusalem. Full of grace and power, he preached Christ boldly; accused before the council, he beheld the heavens opened and the Son of Man at the right hand of God, and was stoned to death, praying for his slayers, while the young Saul, the future Apostle Paul, stood by.
