The patron saint of archers, pin-makers and athletes, as well as numerous cities around the world, the figure and holy death of Saint Sebastian has been revered for many centuries, and his story of religious defiance in the tackle of tyranny continues to resonate.

The image of Saint Sebastian tied to a post or wood – his body riddled with protruding arrows – has since become iconic in art history. Yet his image has transformed quite dramatically over the centuries.

According to a fifth-century hagiography, Saint Sebastian was a middle-aged Roman soldier who served under the pagan emperor Diocletian who commanded at the finish of the third century AD.

As a Christian, Sebastian was sentenced to death by archer firing squad as part of the Diocletianic Persecution – the last and most severe attack on Christians in the Roman Empire.
