Stephen was one of the original group of deacons chosen by the apostles. He was stoned to death for being a Christian. Little else is known about his life.
Saint Stephen was stoned to death and is known as the first christian martyr.

He is the patron saint of stonemasons.

He was born in the first century.

He died in 35 AD.

He is often shown holding a minature church, incense burner, three stones, or a Gospel book.

The only first hand source of information on the life and death of St. Stephen is the Acts of the Apostles.
