    Initial S with the Stoning of St. Stephen Protomartyr
    0 references
    This initial begins the first response for the first nocturn of Matins for the feast of St. Stephen (Dec. 26), 'Stephanus autem plenis gratia et fortitudine' (And Stephen, full of grace and fortitude). St. Stephen is given the title 'Protomartyr' because he was the first martyr of the faith. The Acts of the Apostles record that he was stoned to death while preaching the Word of God (Acts 7:58).
