According to tradition, the martyr St. Sebastian was ordered to be killed by arrows for converting his fellow Roman soldiers to Christianity. He was left for dead by the archers but was rehabilitated by a pious widow. Following his recovery, he presented himself to the emperor Diocletian and was subsequently beaten to death.
