	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Stephen
		Stephen's answer (Acts 7) was a long recital of the mercies of God towards Israel during its long history and of the ungratefulness by which, throughout, Israel repaid these mercies.

		Stephen's stoning does not appear in the narrative of the Acts as a deed of mob violence; it must have been looked upon by those who took part in it as the carrying out of the law.

		Few Hungarians would assert, however, that the two-tiered crown on display ever actually rested on Stephen's head: Its lower part was evidently a gift to King Géza I (1074-77), and its upper part was built for Stephen V, who reigned almost 250 years after the first Stephen's death.
		In 1978 former U.S. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance ceremoniously returned the crown to Hungary from the United States, where it had been stored since the end of World War II.
