What struggles did Saint John have?

A:

St. Sebastian was a legendary Roman martyr who supposedly lived in the third century. It is said he was an officer in the imperial bodyguard and had secretly done many acts of love and charity for his fellow-Christians. When he was finally discovered to be a Christian, in 286, he was handed over to the Mauretanian archers, who pierced him with arrows. He was healed by the widowed St. Irene, then finally killed by the blows of a club. These stories are unhistorical and may not be worthy of belief.
