Stoning of Stephen. Stephen stands before the Jewish council and speaks boldly about Jesus Christ. The council is "cut to the heart" and angry with him. They cast him out of the city and stone him. This is a final sealing of the Jewish nation's rejection of Christ. Stephen's speech aroused the indignation of the people and rulers.
Between 1451 and 1457, Moldavia was in turmoil from the civil war between Petru Aron and Alexăndrel – a nephew of Alexander the Good . Following the outbreak of the conflict, Stephen took refuge in Transylvania, seeking the protection of military commander John Hunyadi.
