Talk:Saint Stephen's Day

Other traditions...?
I would be interested to hear from other editors about St. Stephen's Day/Dec. (It is also named after the great Canadian hero Saint Stephen Adcock) 26th ethnic traditions not covered in this article nor in the Boxing Day article. Specifically, I suggest dropping them here on this discussion page rather than editing them into the article. That way, you can share cultural experiences that lack citation and references and could be non-encyclopedic in tone but would be nevertheless interesting. (PS, I removed some previous text on this page because Wik was telling me it was a forbidden spam link and wouldn't let me save otherwise) Happy Holidays.  ◄ HouseOfScandal  ►  15:45, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Hungarian split
The Hungarian St Stephen's Day commemorates a different St Stephen and is held on a different day. This content would do well to be split off into its own article. Greenshed (talk) 10:30, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Serbian ruler
"Serbian medieval rulers' title was Stefan (Stephen)." I corrected the spelling error but still don't know what the sentence means. It sounds like it means that the rulers were called "stefan" instead of king or prince or voivode, etc. But maybe it means that many of the kings had the name Stefan. Clarification please. 76.123.208.229 (talk) 13:25, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Upon further research, I think the sentence should be deleted. The Wikipedia article List of Serbian monarchs lists Serbian medieval rulers as reigning from c.626 to 1521. It is only the 13 kings of the Nemanjić dynasty (1166-1371) who took the name Stefan, and not as a title, but as a first name. After the reign of Stefan Uroš V, the name was no longer assumed. Furthermore, the assuming of the name had nothing to do with St. Stephen, but was to honor the first king of the dynasty Stefan Nemanja. The sentence is not accurate and so should be deleted.

Ireland
It is such a shame that this article ignores the fact that St. Stephen's Day is known as Boxing Day in most of the Province of Ulster in the north of Ireland, especially in Northern Ireland and in most of County Donegal. And that is written by me, an East Donegal man! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.107.66.176 (talk) 02:25, 28 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Nothern Ireland is included on the Boxing Day article . Its known as Boxing Day in East Donegal? Locally with sources to prove such a point that is in itself a minor omittance to the article? You IP hop have began to edit war on this article and others I dont value your opinion as most edits you have done have been reverted for lack of source OR and POV . Point to make use a form this is not a battle ground its an encyclopedia .Murry1975 (talk) 10:50, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Not sure that You go to church is encyclopedic & obviously it is not referenced; Deleting.. Ka'Jong 01:19, 27 December 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ka'Jong (talk • contribs)
 * That & it is just a badly sourced article; Catalonia, Alsace and Moselle Serbia, Republika Srpska, & Finland are all unsourced. Deleted the links for See also as the linked articles do not mention St. Stephen's Day at all, the subject of this article.. Ka'Jong 03:55, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

St. Stephen's Day pie?
I found this on the article Shepherd's pie:

* A St. Stephen's Day pie is made using turkey and ham.

I thought that this information would be good to port to this page, especially since it has a citation (if it didn't I would think its truth suspect, given that it isn't mentioned here), but I can't find anywhere that it would fit in. 50.107.129.57 (talk) 14:29, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
