About St. Sebastian
A soldier of the imperial army from Narbonne (Gaul) or Milan, according to St. Ambrose, St. Sebastian was martyred for the Faith at Rome during the reign of the Emperor Diocletian.
His burial place at the Cemetery “ad Catacumbas” along the old Appian Way is distinguished by a continuous cult down the centuries. The Roman liturgy has always accorded him a privileged place. Iconography depicts him as a martyr, pierced by arrows. He is invoked for healing from both physical and spiritual wounds.
