Everything That Rises Must Converge


While reading the story right at the begging it talked about Saint Sebastian. I have heard about this Saint but wanted to know more. Sebastian was said to have betrayed and was ordered to be tied up to a tree shot with arrows and left for dead, but the arrows didnt kill him. Irene of Rome nursed him and made him all better.
