Eustace (Eustathios) & the Stag

[@permanenceaesthetic6545]

St. Eustace - patron of outdoorsmen, hunters, trappers, and firemen - pray for us all! Love my patron! 🧔🏻‍♂️🏹✝️🦌

[@JeannieLeDoux]

Excellent for us to remember when ill health or "a bad circumstance " happens. But we will have the victory if we stand firm and cling to our Lord.

I was just considering Eustace for my patron saint for when I become a catechumen this weekend, this is perfect timing!

If i had a nickel for when a cross was revealed between the antlers of a great stag to a canonized saint. Id have two nickels. Saint Eustace and saint Hubert pray for us.

I certainly dont know much, but I've learned that God didn't put any of us here to be victims of circumstance... but VICTOR'S over circumstances.. 🙏☦️

St. Hubert of Liège is another saint who had a vision of a cross between a stag's antlers. He is the patron saint of hunters in the west. He is the inspiration behind the logo of the liquor brand Jagermeister (master hunter) which is supposedly based on older herbal tonic cures common to the german region. He also lends his name to the "St Huberts Key" which was used in older times to "cure" rabies (a piece of metal was heated and applied to a fresh bite from a rabid animal, the heat would sterilize the wound and hopefully prevent the rabies virus).

I love seeing Saints connected with animals.Especially ones who are known for a specific animal!☦️

How timely this is. My family and I recently began visiting one of Elder Ephraim's Athonite Monasteries here in the States, and shortly after meeting the Hegumena, a Megaloschema Nun, I saw a white stag in the fields at or adjacent to the Monastery. I knew it had Christian symbolism, but I didn't know the history. Thank you! Glory to God for all things! ☦️

Narnia! The Pevensies hunt the white stag at the end of C.S. Lewis's "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe," and their hunt leads them back through the wardrobe "to arrive where [they] started / And know the place for the first time. / Through the unknown, remembered gate / When the last of earth left to discover / Is that which was the beginning" (T.S. Eliot). And then, of course, there's Eustace Clarence Scrubb. Thank you for the opportunity to contemplate connections here. And thank you for all your work, which is a real encouragement to me here in Alaska.

Glad to see a fellow Narnia fan in the comments!

[@Athanasios_0]

i cant wait i tell this story to my future kids

[@urossavic5154]

What I really love about this story is that Christ asks him:"are you sure you wanna do this?" showing that the Lover of all mankind doesn't force anyone to him but is there with us the whole way if we "steadfastly" decide to do.

[@Patristix]

Very well put!
