Hey Stephen,

Saint Stephen (Greek: Στέφανος/Stephanos), known as the Protomartyr (Greek: Πρωτομάρτυρας/Protomartyras) (or first martyr) of Christianity, is venerated as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church, as well as in the Orthodox Church. His feast day was historically kept on August 3, commemorating the finding (Latin: inventio) of his body during the reign of Emperor Honorius. His name means 'laurel wreath' or 'crown' in Greek.
