Where did Saint Sebastian work?

St Sebastian was born in the Roman province of Gallia (modern France) and enlisted in the Roman army in 283 AD. It appears that he served in or near Rome itself, which was unusual for provincials at that time; the Emperor Diocletian made him a "captain" in the royal guards (the Praetorians). There was no such rank in the Roman army, so it is assumed that he really became a Praetorian centurion. He was discovered to be a Christian and sentenced to be shot dead with arrows, which he survived, only to be again sentenced to death by clubbing (a common sentence for Roman soldiers who committed serious crimes).


What about Saint George is myth and what is fact?

St. George was real. He was an early Christian martyr. Some of his deeds are probably mythical or, at the very least, exaggerated. Dragons have never existed. Perhaps he did kill some animal that was threatening a town such as a crocodile, but it is unlikely he could have slayed a dragon.


What was the occupation of Saint Emmanuel?

He was considered a "saint" by the people of his town because he did so many wonderful deeds, helping out doctors, giving speeches about how great life is, however he did not believe or had doubts in his faith in God. So it can't be answered, its opinion, either you believe someone is a saint for acting out good deeds on a daily basis or a saint is someone who truly believes in what they preach for and do daily.
