About Mar Sebastianos – Sebastianos, who was accused of being a Christian during the Roman emperor Diocletian's persecution of Christians, was subjected to a brutal execution. He was tied to a tree and shot with arrows, but miraculously survived. With the aid of Saint Irene, he recovered and returned to confront Diocletian. In retaliation, the emperor ordered Sebastian to be beaten to death. 

Mar Sebastianos is well-known for his prompt assistance to those facing distress, especially individuals seeking help for incurable illnesses, epidemics, and various challenges in life. His intercession is sought by many who are battling physical and emotional hardships and are in need of comfort and guidance.
