Acts ofthe Apostles tells us that Pentecost occurred fifty days after the resurrection of Jesus, but is unclear as to exacly when Stephen was stoned to death. However, it is quite possible that neither event was really historical.
The Jews had celebrated a Pentecost since the second century BCE and there are parallels of timing and content between the Jewish Pentecost and the story of the Christian Pentecost, which seems to have been inspired by the Jewish Pentecost. Also, Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says that we can never verify the martyrdom or even existence of Stephen. With both events unlikely to have really happened, there is no real answer to this question.

Did Saint Stephen succeed?
A:Acts of the Apostles says that Stephen was brought before the Sanhedrin to be tried on a charge of blasphemy. To have drawn the attention of the religious authorities to this extent, he must have been successful in his short-lived role as a deacon of the church.During the trial, Acts tells us that Stephen made no attempt to defend himself, merely antagonising the members of the Sanhedrin by reciting a monologue in which he said "Your fathers" persecuted the prophets (Acts 7:51,52), as if unaware that he was also a Jew, and by lecturing them on Jewish history. That he was then taken out to be stoned to death demonstrates that his long monologue was unsuccessful in changing the views of his accusers or judges.As to the historicity of these amazing events, Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says that we can never verify the martyrdom or even existence of Stephen. However, the story of Stephen has been successful down through the centuries in bringing people to the faith.
What is the significance of St. Stephen's Day to Catholics?
St. Stephen was a deacon, recently appointed by the apostles, who was the first martyr of the new church. He was stoned to death not long after Our Lord ascended into Heaven. His feast day is the first day after the celebration of Our Lord's Nativity -December 26. In much of the United Kingdom it is known as Boxing Day, when people "box" unused household items, clothing or food to give to the poor. Stephen's position as a deacon was to distribute food and other items to the needy.
How did the message of Pentecost affect St Paul's life?
A:Although Paul says he received the gospel from no man, but by revelation, none of his epistles suggests that he had any knowledge of the Pentecost story. Acts of the Apostles is believed to have been written at the end of the first century or early in the second century, long after the death of St. Paul. The story of the Pentecost in chapter 2 bears a remarkable resemblance to the earlier Jewish Pentecost and was arguably inspired by it, in which case the Pentecost would have been entirely unknown in the first century.
How long after the ascension was Pentecost?
It was 50 days, because Jesus was crucified on the Passover and Pentecost is 50 days after that. This is important because the Jewish feast of Pentecost included the offering of two loaves of unleavened bread representing the first fruits of the harvest (see Lev. 23:17-20 , Deut. 16:9-10), Jesus is the First Fruit of the Harvest, and Pentecost in the Christian Church is also the anniversary of the coming of the Holy Spirit (see Acts 2).
