St. Stephan’s Gate, the Christian name of one of the city gates of the Old City of Jerusalem, also known as the “Lions’ Gate“. A post-Byzantine tradition holds that Stephen’s stoning occurred there, while an older tradition connects the martyrdom to the Damascus Gate, where a church and large monastic complex dedicated to Saint Stephen was built in the 5th century (see above). A modern Greek Orthodox Church of Saint Stephen stands a short distance from Lions’ Gate
