	Municipality of Sebaste
		Doubtless the creation of the Municipality of Sebaste in 1964 marked the triumph of Sebastehanons in their quest to be free-to chart the course of their town’s destiny and the future of their children.
		Sebaste is a sixth-class municipality deriving most of its income from fishery and agriculture.
		Sebaste is located in Northern Antique, about 109 kilometers from San Jose, provincial capital, about 206 kilometers from Iloilo City, and some 69 kilometers from Kalibo, Aklan to the north.

	The Catholic Encyclopedia - Sebaste (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Sebaste is known to us, apart from Hierocles, "Synecdemus", 667-8, by its coins and more so by its inscriptions; the latter identify it with the present village of Sivasli, in a fertile region at the foot of Bourgas Dagh, in the eastern portion of the plain of Banaz Ova, a vilayet of Brousse.
		Sebaste owes its name and foundation to Emperor Augustus, who established inhabitants of the adjacent villages in it; the Phrygian god Mên and his Grecian equivalent Zeus, as well as Apollo and Artemis, were adored there.
		Another Sebaste occurs in the "Notitiae episcopatuum" as a bishopric in Cilicia Prima, Tarsus being its metropolis, and also a Julio-Sebaste, a see in Isauria, suffragan of Seleucia.

	Sebaste, Holy Land
		In the 4th century, Sebaste had a Christian community that boasted the fact that it possessed the tombs of St. John the Baptist (pbuh) and the prophets Abdias and Elisha (pbut).
		Julian the Apostate (361-363) scattered their ashes to the winds, but Christians continued to venerate the tombs, which were enclosed in a basilica destroyed by the Persians in 614, but rebuilt by the Crusaders, who placed a bishop.
		The church was built on the ruins of a Byzantine basilica, in the crypt of which were the relics of the precursor and the relics of the prophets Abdias and Elisha (pbut).

	The Forty Holy Martyrs of Sebaste
		When the pagan Licinius ruled the eastern half of the Roman Empire (307-323 AD), it was his evil intent to eliminate Christianity from the lands under his control, and especially, for fear of treason, among the troops.
		That night, however, the holy martyrs appeared to the blessed bishop of Sebaste and told him to recover the bones from the river.
		Together with some of his clergy, the bishop went secretly that night to the river where the bones of the martyrs shone like stars in the water, enabling them to be collected to the very last fragment.
