Saint Sebastian
Saint Sebastian (in Latin: ''Sebastianus''; Narbo, Gallia Narbonensis, Roman Empire c. AD 255 – Rome, Italia, Roman Empire c. AD 288) was an early Christian saint and martyr.

He was, according to tradition, rescued and healed by Saint Irene of Rome, which became a popular subject in 17th-century painting.
