thumb|upright|Saint Stephen, one of the first seven deacons in the Christian Church, holding a [[Gospel Book in a 1601 painting by Giacomo Cavedone.]] A deacon is a member of the diaconate, an office in Christian churches that is generally associated with service of some kind, but which varies among theological and denominational traditions.
A deacon is a church official in Christian denominations who holds a position traditionally associated with service roles, though the exact responsibilities and significance of the role differ depending on the particular church tradition. The office has been part of Christianity since its earliest days, as seen in historical figures like Saint Stephen, one of the first seven deacons recorded in the Christian Church.
