We give thee thanks, O Lord of glory, for the example of the first martyr Stephen, who looked up to heaven and prayed for his persecutors to thy Son Jesus Christ, who standeth at thy right hand: where he liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting.
The Stoning of Saint Stephen is the first signed painting by Dutch artist Rembrandt, painted in 1625 at the age of 19. This work is inspired by the martyrdom of #SaintStephen which is recounted in Acts 7. It is currently kept in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon. #Rembrandt pic.twitter.com/M6bDLkPEMB
