St. Stephen's relics were tranlated to Zion and honorably buried, and many of the sick were healed by his relics. The other three relics were placed inside a church atop the cave on a hill. Eventually, his relics were translated to Constantinople.

[[Troparion]] (Tone 4)
:O Protomartyr and mighty warrior of Christ our God,
:You are victorious in battle and crowned with glory, O holy Stephen!
:You confounded the council of your persecutors,
:Beholding your Savior enthroned at the right hand of the Father.
:Never cease to intercede for the salvation of our souls!
[[Kontakion]] (Tone 3)
:Yesterday the Master assumed our flesh and became our guest;
:Today His servant is stoned to death and departs in the flesh,
:The glorious Protomartyr Stephen.
