The Seven Deacons were leaders elected by the Early Christian church to minister to the people of Jerusalem. They are described in the Acts of the Apostles, and are the subject of later traditions as well; for instance they are supposed to have been members of the Seventy Disciples who appear in the Gospel of Luke.
The Seven Deacons were:

• Saint Stephen (Proto-martyr)
• Saint Philip the Evangelist
• Prochorus
• Nicanor
• Timon
• Parmenas
• Nicholas
