"Good King Wenceslas went out
On the Feast of Stephen..."
On this day the Church celebrates Stephen, one of the earliest followers of Jesus, who was chosen by his fellow-Christians to be responsible for the very practical job of sharing out food to the poor. But Stephen was also a well educated and thoughtful person and a gifted evangelist, so when he was accused by the opponents of Christianity of breaking religious laws, he defended himself fearlessly and did not waver in his faith. For this he was stoned to death. Today Stephen is remembered as one of the first Christian martyrs. You can read his story in the Bible (Acts 6 - 7).
