St Sebastian (died c. 288 AD) was an early Christian saint and martyr. According to the legends: King Diocletian tried by every means to turn Sebastian from the faith of Christ. After all efforts had proven fruitless, he ordered him tied to a post and pierced with arrows but survived and later he was scourged until he died. |

St Fabian (c. 200 – January 20, 250) was the Bishop of Rome from January 10, 236 to his death in 250, succeeding Anterus. He is famous for the miraculous nature of his election, in which a dove is said to have descended on his head to mark him as the Holy Spirit’s unexpected choice to become the next Pope. |
