saint stephan

believed to be the first christian martyr
defense of his faith enraged jewish audience that stoned him to death
final prayer was a prayer of forgiveness for his attackers
for stephen, the building of the temple was a bit of idolatry, comparable to aaron’s golden calf (idol worshipped by hebrews during exodus period) ‘the most high does not dwell in houses made with hands)

similar to cordelia, in regards to standing up for her beliefs

also the first to be exiled

nothing - antithesis of idolatry as void of materialism
