Martyrs: Saint Sebastian the Gay Icon
Update: 2024-10-22
Description
Episode two of Saint Podcast's Martyr series is about Saint Sebastian, the patron saint of pandemics, athletes, archers, and outcasts. He's one of the most well-known saints. No other saint has as many works of art dedicated to them from paintings to films to books and pop songs. Tune in to learn more about this 3rd-century Roman warrior from Gaul who was famously shot full of arrows. And discover how a middle-aged Praetorian Guard became a Medieval protector against pandemics - then transformed into a shirtless, barely legal pin-up and queer icon.
