Martyrdom of Saint Stephen San Esteban Ilocos Sur Philippines
A protomartyr (Koine Greek, πρῶτοςprôtos 'first' + μάρτυςmártus 'martyr') is the first Christian martyr in a country or among a particular group, such as a religious order. Similarly, the phrase the Protomartyr (with no other qualification of country or region) can mean Saint Stephen, the first martyr of the Christian Church.
Saint Thecla the Protomartyr, the first female martyr of the Christian Church, is known as "apostle and protomartyr among women".[1]
