St. Sebastian
St. Sebastian grew up as a Christian in Milan. In order to assist the confessors and martyrs in their sufferings, he went to Rome about the year 98 and enlisted in the army. He became an officer and a favorite of the Emperor Diocletian. Marcus and Marcellinus, twin brothers, had been imprisoned for the Faith. Sebastian seeing this, exhorted them to remain loyal to Christ.
God confirmed his words by a miracle, and many wore led to embrace the Faith, including the Prefect of Rome and his son Tiburtius. Marcus and Marcellinus met their martyrdom by being nailed by the feet to a post, and after twenty hours of suffering were shot to death by arrows. St. Sebastian, having aided many martyrs, was himself brought before the Emperor, who reproached him with ingratitude and delivered him to some archers to be shot to death.
St. SebastianÂ’s body was covered with arrows, and he was left for dead. A holy widow went to bury him and finding him alive, took Saint Sebastian to her home and cared for him until he was restored to health. Greatly astonished at finding St. Sebastian alive, the Emporer ordered that St. Sebastian be seized and beaten to death, and his body thrown into the cloaca (the sewer of Rome). St. Sebastian thus suffered a double martyrdom. St. Sebastian, Pray for us.
