Saint Sebastian (05)

A circular devotional design reminiscent of a medal: inside a richly patterned border appears the inscription “Ora Pro Nobis” (Pray for us). Sebastian, haloed and serene, bears several arrows—a reminder of his martyrdom and a call to ask his intercession for strength and steadfast faith. Ideal for catechists and homeschoolers to discuss the Catholic practice of asking the saints to pray for us, the communion of saints, and how sacramentals and devotional art support prayer.
