Saint Sebastian was purported to have probably died in AD 288 as a martyr. He was a Christan, but joined the military to put himself in a position where he could provide comfort to Christian martyrs. What is Saint Sebastian the patron saint of?

Since he himself was in the military that captured Christians, he could visit the imprisoned and offer comfort and encouragement without arousing suspicion.

    father-son. Here is some information on Mr. Cabot as listed on www.enchantedlearning.com: "Sebastian Cabot (1474?-1557?) was an explorer, mapmaker and navigator of Italian descent. He worked as a cartographer (mapmaker) for England's King Henry VIII, was a captain for Spain's King Ferdinand V, explored for England's King Charles V, and may have secretly explored for Venice. Sebastian Cabot's father was the explorer John Cabot. Cabot searched for the Northwest passage across North America (1508). He began an unsuccessful trip around the world (1526-1529) in a voyage that supposed to sail to China and the Moluccas (the Spice Islands, in Indonesia), but he only made it as far as the enormous mouth of the Rio de la Plata (a river between Argentina and Uruguay in South America). Later, he began to work for the English again (for King Charles V), searching for a water passage across the north of Asia around 1553."

Growing up I grew sad at the death of Atreyu's beloved horse, scared at the Nothing and the wolf and proud of Bastian running down those bullies with help of the Luck Dragon. "Legend" is another great movie starring Tom Cruise of all people. You have to see Tim Curry as a horned devil. It is hard to believe he is under all that make-up. "Labyrinth" is another great fantasy movie. Starring Jennifer Connelly and David Bowie as the Goblin King.
