St. Sebastian was the captain of the praetorian guard and a favorite of the Roman Emperor Diocletian until he learned that Sebastian was a Christian. The emperor ordered that he be executed so soldiers shot him full of arrows. St. Irene took his body back to her home where she learned he was still alive and nursed him back to health. Once in good health he publicly criticized the emperor who, once again, had him executed, this time by clubbing to death.
