st.sebastian helped many people. he is my favorite saint. he gave me great joy! i think the cool part is that he got shot with arrows and survived being a martyr would stink but he gave up his life to help us. u can see in a lot of saints that they really cared about Jesus srry for a really long seech thing but i think peeps should no!!!
Ever since I started to go to church and was able to learn about saints. I was told that my surname was that of a great saint,now looking at the life of Saint Sebastien I am glad to have a saint name.
i am doing research on sebastian and found him very brave and courageous. I chose him because of his athleticism and i cannot believe that he was shot with arrows and survived!!!
I found a st sebastian necklace in a parking lot n ever since that day I haven't taken it off. when I found off all the amazing things he did, n how many ppl he helped...i just can't take it off from around my neck.. and I am also a huge archer. I've had great luck with all my activities involving strength n fitness, including firefighting, n I think this, St. Sebastian, Pray For Us,,, necklace is inspiring me to do much more then I thought I could..
my boy is three and a half yr old. even when he was two, he is noted to be strong, got big hands and feet.the older boys noted that.doesnt surprise me, he is named after St. Sebastian, and we call him Seb for short
I was given a St. Sebastian medal by my uncle Charles. This website really helped me find information about him. I am also an athlete and an archer. thank you so much!!! :-)
