The Cult of Stephen in Jerusalem

The Cult of Stephen in Jerusalem

Inventing a Patron Martyr

Contenu

This study traces the rise of the cult of St Stephen in Jerusalem in the fifth century, exploring such episodes as the fabrication of his relics, the construction of a grand basilica in his honour, and the multiplication of feast days, as a conscious attempt to position Stephen as their patron saint and embodiment of Christian identity and power.
