Who was Saint Stephen the Younger?

Stephen (715–764) was born in Constantinople and became a monk, and later abbot, on Mount Auxentius near Chalcedon. When Emperor Constantine V tried to forbid the veneration of icons of Christ, Mary and the saints, Stephen refused to accept the decrees of the emperor's council of 754. He was exiled, imprisoned and pressured to give in, but he taught that honoring an image honors the one it represents. In 764 he was dragged through the streets of Constantinople by a mob and killed.

Feast day and traditions

He is called "the Younger" to distinguish him from Saint Stephen, the first martyr. The Second Council of Nicaea in 787 confirmed the teaching he died for: holy images may be venerated.

Prayer

Saint Stephen, defender of holy images, help us honor Christ, Mary and the saints with love, and keep our eyes fixed on heaven. Amen.

Novena

To pray a novena that ends on the eve of the feast, begin on November 19 and finish on November 27.

Mass readings

Read the Mass readings for November 28 from the US bishops (USCCB).
