Even Steven
From my days, eons ago, in the seminary, I remember December 26 is the Feast of Saint Stephen, recognized as Christianity's first martyr. (The feast is tomorrow in the Eastern church.) (Yikes, the things I learned about it from Wikipedia!)
From the gauzy memory of my later, at times less-innocent, youth, I also remember Saint Stephen being celebrated in a song by The Grateful Dead; good song; fascinating annotated lyrics.
Connections. We're all about connections, here at The Laughorist. That, and a laugh or two.

Stephen gave his life for his faith and beliefs. No complaints from me about the typical trivial minutiae..
