Štefanu, zavetniku živine, obudijo stare običaje. Sveti Štefan je krščanski svetnik. Štefan je bil prvi krščanski mučenec in eden sedmih diakonov prvotne skupnosti v Jeruzalemu. Leta 34 našega štetja je bil obsojen na smrt s kamenjanjem. Goduje na Štefanovo 26. decembra, na ta dan pa je v Sloveniji pogosto blagoslov konj. V Svetem pismu je nekaj podatkov iz Štefanovega življenja prispeval sveti Luka v 6. in 7. poglavju Apostolskih del. V Sloveniji je 37 cerkva posvečenih svetem Štefanu. Vir: Wikipedia Saint Stephen The Protomartyr (Koine Greek: Στέφανος, Stephanos), the protomartyr of Christianity, is venerated as a saint in the Roman Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, Oriental Orthodox and Eastern Orthodox Churches. Saint Stephen's name is derived from the Greek Stephanos, meaning "crown". Traditionally, Stephen is invested with a crown of martyrdom for Christianity; he is often depicted in art with three stones and the martyrs' palm. In Eastern Christian iconography, he is shown as a young beardless man with a tonsure, wearing a deacon's vestments, and often holding a miniature church building or a censer.
