Saint Sebastian, and his presence in Puerto Rican traditions.

 

How does the saint’s legacy turn into this festivity…?

In the community discourse, I will explore my community’s history, and how this plays a part in my journey to discover my wide image. One historical figure in particular serves as the center of the three community narratives. In my case, I have chosen Saint Sebastian because one of Puerto Rico’s biggest events is titled after this saint, yet it has no religious ties- at least not now, maybe when it first started. All this will be discussed in the Community discourses.
