Stephanie (St. Stephanis)
"For the longest time I didn't know there was a female saint for my name. When I was chrismated, I took St. Stephen [the first Christian martyr] for my saint. Then, a friend of mine heard about St. Stephanis, and bought an icon for me. So now it's as if I have two saints to look after me."
--Stephanie, wife, mother
