Feast of St. Stephen

Happy 2nd Day of Christmas! 

Today the Church also remembers St. Stephen of Jerusalem, a young man who was stoned to death for his faith in Jesus (in AD 34, only a year after the crucifixion). He is remembered for taking care of the elderly and the widows of Jerusalem. 

This famous Christmas carol reminds us of St. Stephen, and how we are ourselves responsible for the care of those who are vulnerable amongst us.
