Life
Saint Stephen is commemorated on 22 November (new style, the Greek calendar) together with two martyrs named Mark. According to the synaxarion they suffered in the time of the emperor Diocletian and the governor Magus, in the year 290. They came from Antioch in Pisidia and were beheaded because they confessed Christ as true God.
A verse says that Stephen, put to the sword beside the two Marks, receives with them many crowns. No further details are preserved.
