The saint's serene expression reflects his unyielding loyalty to God and his unwavering commitment to spreading His word.

This artwork serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by early Christians for their beliefs. St. Stephen's martyrdom symbolizes the strength and resilience that define true devotion. Through "The Sermon of St. Stephen at Jerusalem". Carpaccio not only showcases his mastery as an artist but also invites viewers to reflect upon their own faith and dedication to their beliefs.
