The history of San Sebastian, is that of a Roman officer, using his position to give protection to Christians. He was found out, tied to a tree and holed with arrows until thought dead. He was not dead however, and a young girl called Irene, saved his life. Not for long. The authorities found out, and this time he was whipped to death and thrown into the gutters. His remains were recovered by on other young Christian woman, who gave him a decent burial.
