The Stoning of Stephen - Biblical Engraving Illustration #96020 (License: Personal Use)

This detailed woodcut or steel engraving illustrates the stoning of Saint Stephen, the first Christian martyr, as described in the Book of Acts. The central figure, clad in a long robe and kneeling, gestures toward heaven as beams of light break through clouds-a visual metaphor for his vision of Christ. Surrounding him, agitated men hurl stones, while others observe solemnly near ancient ruins and a fortified city wall in the background.

Used in religious education, theological publications, Bible study resources, and historical art collections to illustrate early Christian persecution and martyrdom narratives; aligns with user intent seeking visual interpretation of Acts 7 or Christian iconography.
