St. Sebastian

Saint Sebastian of Hebilee (modern Cildanian: סבסטיאן הקדוש, Sebastian HaQuddosh, Church Cildanian: ܡܪ ܤܒܤܛܝܐܢܢ, Mar Sebastian) was a 9th century Christian monk and missionary, noted for bringing Christianity to Cildania and for being the first bishop of Qart Qildar. Saint Sebastian was known for his missionary work, healing and miracles, and teachings of a monastic devotion to God. He also wrote a wide variety of hymns, poems, and sermons in verse, as well as prose biblical exegesis. These were works of practical theology for the edification of the church in troubled times. He is said to have been martyred by then King of Hebilon, but after his death the Department of Cildania (ER) quickly became the dominant religion in Cildania.
