#1: The proper name of this uber-religious guy is Saint Hubert of Liege.
#2: Hubert’s road to sainthood started when he saw a crucifix appear on the antlers of the deer he was hunting and his wife dying soon after.
#3: Since Hubert was formally an expert hunter he concentrated his patronage against rabies and bad behavior in canines, primarily hunting dogs.
#4: Hubert was born in 656 A.D. and died on May 30th 727 A.D.
dang there is a saint for everything isnt there? lol.
ReplyDeleteI learned something new, I guess.
ReplyDeleteI won't even remember this tomorrow. I'm awesome like that.
ReplyDeleteDon't think I've ever heard of this one. Says his wife died giving birth to their son.
ReplyDeletePS: Thanks, again!

ReplyDeleteLOL. How completely random.
ReplyDeleteYou should do some random facts about sex-related objects. (Yes, I'm hypersexual and horny but if you do, God will smile upon you.)
Had never heard of him but had seen images of the deer with the cross on it.
ReplyDeleteSt. Daft Scot will confirm that.
ReplyDeletenice stuff, keep it up
ReplyDeleteFirst, I didn't know there *was* a patron saint of mad dogs. Second, for living in that age, he was OLD when he died! LOL
ReplyDeleteNo i didn't know any of that xD
ReplyDeleteMad dogs have a patron saint?
ReplyDeleteYou've got to be kidding me.
Nope, did not know those things.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of this one and I went to Catholic School and everything. But hey, I was named after Saint Barbara and then they decided she wasn't worthy of being a saint anymore and de-sainted her. True story. And why I'm not Catholic anymore either!! Bunch of story telling.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, I didn't know that. Or that this guy existed actually for that matter.
ReplyDeleteI hope he only hunted rabid dogs! It sounds like that was the case. Imagine becoming a saint for doing that!
ReplyDeleteWow, I can just imagine doing good in the world, then dying and being named the patron saint of rabied dogs. Weird!
ReplyDeletewell now i know
ReplyDeleteWho's the patron saint for patron saints? Has to be Henry Rollins I think.
ReplyDeleteI acutally didn't know these facts!
