============================================================

St. Stephanie,
an African woman saint, was martyred at Denderah in Egypt in the Fourth Century
with another 500 innocent people.  She was only 18 years old.  The only
accusation against these martyrs was that they loved Jesus.  We know nothing
else, but the echo of these martyrs’ faith has been strong enough to reach us.
