Frequently Asked Questions
Who is St. Sebastian and why is he the Patron of Athletes?
St. Sebastian was a Roman soldier and early Christian martyr known for his physical courage and endurance. The Catholic Church recognizes him as the Patron Saint of Athletes, soldiers, and those who suffer physical hardship. His intercession is traditionally sought for strength, protection, and perseverance in sport and in life.
What chain length should I choose?
18" chains typically rest at the collarbone, 20" at the chest, 24" at the sternum, and 27" at the upper abdomen. Consider the size of your head and width of your neck when selecting chain length. For more help, see our necklace length guide.
