Saint Hubert was a nobleman in the 7th century, known for his love of hunting. Legend has it that on a Good Friday morning, while on a hunt, he had a vision of a crucifix between the antlers of a magnificent stag. The vision changed him, and he devoted himself to serving God.
Hubert became a bishop and spent the rest of his life preaching the gospel, converting many to Christianity. He is now known as the patron saint of hunters and is commemorated on November 3rd.
