St. Sebastian with helmet

Do you need a little incentive? Then this statue of a saint could be the right one for you. For although arrows pierce St. Sebastian, his hand and posture point steadfastly forward. In fact, he is often portrayed as unscathed, as a young, handsome, strong man who does not despair despite his suffering. Perhaps that's why so many sportsmen and women admire him nowadays. After all, they too have to endure a lot if they want to achieve top performances. During his lifetime, this saint was probably a high-ranking officer in the Roman army, which is indicated by the helmet in this encouraging, poignant statue. Sebastian is also regarded as the patron saint of police officers and soldiers and is said to protect them from serious illnesses.
