the Fiesta in January,2001
Every year we celebrate the feast of Saint
Sebastian (20th January). St Sebastian who was a martyr
of the early Christian movement during the height of
Roman Empire, was put to death, fired upon by arrows.
He was the son of a wealthy Roman family and was educated
in Milan. He was also an officer of the Imperial Roman army,
and captain of the guard,also a favorite of Emperor Diocletian.
During Diocletian's persecution of the Christians,
Sebastian visited them in prison, bringing them comfort and
food.
He is the patron saint of young adults and athletes.
Observe the festival live through the video cameras on
