St. Sebastian is popular due to his status as patron saint of athletes. He is also frequently seen in pop culture due to his iconic depiction, being tied to a post and shot with arrows (which is how he was martyred). The necklace chain is available in 18in and 24in lengths and contains a silver colored arrow charm and a St. Sebastian medal, made in Italy with the words "PRAY FOR US" on the back. Saint Sebastian is the patron saint of athletes and soldiers.
