Saint Stephen's Day
Saint Stephen's Day honours Stephen, described in the Acts of the Apostles as one of seven men chosen to serve the early Christian community in Jerusalem and as the first Christian martyr. According to Acts he was stoned to death after a speech before the Jewish council. Stephen is regarded as a patron of deacons and of stonemasons, and many churches and several cities bear his name. In the Gospel accounts and Acts, Stephen is remembered for forgiving those who killed him, and the feast has long been associated with charity and kindness to the poor.
The feast comes straight after Christmas Day in the Western calendar, which gave it a natural place in the Christmas season. In Austria, Italy, Croatia, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Andorra, San Marino and the Vatican it is a public holiday, and in Ireland it is the name by which the day is known, rather than Boxing Day, with horse racing, football and visits to family as typical ways of spending it. In the Christmas context, the day also brings out folk customs such as carol singing, visits and blessings, depending on region, and it extends the festive period by one more day.
