Life
Holy Martyr Stephen is commemorated on 8 February (new style) in the Greek synaxarion, together with Holy Martyr Nikephoros. The two suffered by having their flesh torn by their tormentors.
A verse of the synaxarion plays on the meaning of their names, Nikephoros, bearer of victory, and Stephen, crown. Their commemoration is repeated on 25 October. No other details of their lives have survived in the source consulted.
