Fuck Yeah St Sebastian

Enluminure du XVe siècle attribuée au Maître des scènes de David dans le bréviaire Grimani, représentant le martyre de Saint Sébastien.

Saint Sébastien est dépeint comme un jeune homme attaché à une colonne et transpercé de flèches par des soldats romains.

-And the archers shot at him till he was as full of arrows as an urchin is full of pricks-

Inspired by Saint Sebastian, a saint and martyr who was a Roman soldier but secretly converted to Christianity and supported persecuted believers🏹

I think everyone has seen the paintings of him pierced by arrows at least once, but I don't know if you all know that wasn't the cause of his death! Despite being riddled with arrows, they didn't actually kill him, he was rescued and healed by Saint Irene of Rome!👏🏼👏🏼 (and then he was killed anyway because otherwise he couldn't have been a martyr)
