Saint Socrates and Stephen
Venerated in Roman Catholic Church
Feast September 17

Socrates and Stephen are a pair of Christian martyrs. Their feast day is September 17.

They are recorded in certain martyrologies as having been martyred in Britain. It has been conjectured by some that what may have happened was that "in Britannia" was mistakenly written for "in Bithynia".
