This powerful print captures the moment when St. Stephen, also known as Stephen the Deacon, becomes the first Christian to die for his faith. The image depicts him being stoned, a brutal and tragic end to a man who stood firm in his beliefs.
St. Stephen's story is one of courage and conviction, as he fearlessly proclaimed his faith despite facing persecution and ultimately death. His martyrdom marked a significant moment in Christian history, inspiring countless others to stand strong in their own beliefs.
The setting of Royaumont adds an air of solemnity to the scene, with its historical significance serving as a backdrop to this pivotal moment in religious history. The date of circa 35 places us right at the heart of early Christianity, offering a glimpse into the challenges faced by those who dared to follow Jesus Christ.
As we gaze upon this poignant image, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by individuals like St. Stephen who paved the way for future generations of Christians. Their legacy lives on through stories like these that continue to inspire and challenge us today.
