An extremely impressive Gothic building dedicated to St. Stephen, although St. Martial from the 3rd century is the city's first bishop. Even if it is obvious that the name refers to the first Christian martyr, the deacon Stephen from Jerusalem, we suspect that in this case it is a hermit from the 11th century who lived in the village of Muret near Limoges has.

From here we started the fourth and final part of our Camino from Linz to Santiago de Compostella by bike.

Saint Stephen (Saint Etienne), to whom Limoges Cathedral is dedicated, may have been named after an 11th-century hermit.
However, this one has Saint Stephen as its namesake, and he is one of the seven first deacons of the early Jerusalem community and is the first martyr (martyr) of early Christianity. The church remembers him on Boxing Day, December 26th.
When Stephen uttered his vision of the open heaven, "And being filled with the Holy Spirit, he looked up into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God" (Acts chapter 7 verse 55), the people were so indignant that that they drove him out of the city and stoned him.
