Feast September 17 | Name Socrates Stephen | |
Venerated in Roman Catholic Church | ||
Socrates and Stephen (both died circa 307) are a pair of Christian martyrs. Their feast day is September 17.
They are recorded in certain martyrologies as having been martyred in Britain during the persecution of Diocletian, which took place from 303 to 311. It has been conjectured by some that what may have happened was that "in Britannia" was mistakenly written for "in Bithynia".
