ST. STEPHEN’S GATE, TEMPLE MOUNT, JERUSALEM
According to legend, Saint Stephen was the first Christian to have been martyred. He was stoned to death in front of this gate which had been previously known as the Lion’s gate due to the artistic embellishments on both sides of the upper facade around the central arch.
