SaintStephen, Protomartyr, depicted by Carlo Crivelli in 1476 with three stones and the martyrs' palm.
SaintStephen is known as the Protomartyr, or first martyr, of Christianity and is venerated as a saint of the Roman Catholic Church.
SaintStephen is traditionally invested with a crown of martyrdom for Christianity and is often depicted in art with three stones and the martyrs' palm.
Stephen in a long speech explained to his accusers the mercies of God to Israel throughout the years, and showed the ungratefulness through which Israel had repaid these mercies.
Stephen declared that he could see " the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God." At this his enemies grabbed him and flung him out of the City intending to stone him.
The opinion that St Stephen was martyred East of Jerusalem near the gate called St Stephen's Gate is not heard of until the twelfth Century.
