ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN NOVEMBER
Saints celebrated on the 28th of November
SAINT STEPHEN THE YOUNGER AND COMPANIONS, MARTYRS
Today, we also commemorate Saint Stephen and Companions. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Constantinople, in the time of Constantine Copronymus, the holy martyrs Stephen the Younger, Basil, Peter, Andrew and their companions, numbering three hundred and thirty-nine monks, who were subjected to various torments for the worship of holy images, and confirmed the Catholic truth with the shedding of their blood."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saints Stephen the Younger, Basil, Peter, Andrew, and Companions may increase our devotion and promote our salvation. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
