    The church of St. Stephen in Egestorf is an open church and it is well worth seeing from the inside.

    Next to the side entrance is a bronze plate in honor of Martin Luther.

    Half-timbered church from 1645. The "Heidepastor" Wilhelm Bode worked here from 1885-1923.

    Saint Stephen (or in other spelling Stefan), namesake of this church, is one of the seven first deacons of the Jerusalem early community and is the first martyr (blood witness) of early Christianity. The Church will remember him on Boxing Day, December 26th.
    When Stephen said aloud his vision of the open heaven, "But he, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven, 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 they drove him out of town and stoned him.
