St Stephen... the patron saint of headaches

Whether you call it Stephen’s Day, Boxing Day or Monday, Suzanne Harrington reckons it’ll be a day of headaches.

Over here, we call it Stephen’s Day. This is after the first Christian martyr who ended up getting stoned the day after Christmas, and not in a good way. Trust us to attach the second most miserable image available — a fella getting pounded by rocks — to our festive lie in.

(The first prize goes to the one being nailed to a plank of wood, which we will be celebrating later on with supermarkets full of egg-shaped chocolate).
