St. Stephen’s feast day remembered by us locally on the feast day of David and St. James the brother of Jesus which I had an Icon of James on the fridge. https://www.oca.org/saints/lives/2025/12/28 St. John Chrisostom and St. Basil December 27th on 28th prayer for old friend. Full battle attire equals a white alb that happens to be black because it symbolizes being dead to sin and a mettle cross along with many sacramental rosaries and the like. Pastor Brown God bless the Souls in between for around three days after max, probably. From my reasearch from an Orthodox perspective.
