Today is St. Stephen’s Day. It honors St. Stephen, the first Christian martyr (protomartyr), known for his powerful preaching and forgiveness as he was stoned to death for his faith. It’s a Christian feast day marking the day after Christmas, symbolizing the ultimate sacrifice for Christ, and in some countries like Ireland, it’s known as “Day of the Wren” with traditions like wren boys parading with music, while in the UK, it’s called Boxing Day, linked to charity boxes for the poor or gifts for servants.
