Stephen, a Martyr on the Fast Track

I visited Israel, Jerusalem, and all the sites of Christ's life, death, and resurrection last March for the second time. It even outdid the first! But I had a kind of strange fixation with St. Stephen, just had to see where he was martyred.

The first man ever to give his life for Christ! Even though walking around Jerusalem, Jesus and the apostles kind of steal the spotlight (understandably), I was convinced to find the place.
