Legend has it that this person turned to persue a life of spiritual faith after an obscure hunting episode. Who is this now saint, what did he see, and what is his connection to modern day military?

Peasy, could it perhaps be Saint Hubert of Liege? On a hunting trip, he began to hunt a stag, and noticed it had a crucifix between it's antlers. Out of nowhere, a voice said "Hubert, unless you turn to the Lord, and lead a holy life, you shall quickly go down to hell." His wife died shortly after this incident, and he gave up everything and studied for priesthood. http://www.catholic-forum.com/saints/sainth07.htm Jul 31 05, 8:26 PM

Well, yes, princess, it could well be...now explain the military bit and you have your banana. ;) Oh, and perhaps I may have been a bit hasty with the 'modern day' stuff... Jul 31 05, 8:46 PM

There was a military order of St. Hubert, established in Bavaria: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07508b.htm However, this whole story is also connected with St. Eustace. Here's a quite famous painting of the event: http://gallery.euroweb.hu/html/p/pisanell/vision.html Jul 31 05, 8:58 PM

This person (a saint) was the son of a wealthy merchant. His earlier life was a wild and immoral one, living as a musician. He turned his life around one night when he saw a holy man (anonymous as we know it). He quit his music and became a wealthy merchant. He quit this, however, when his money developed a sour odor. From this, he became a monk and made many pilgrimages to Jerusalem. Who is this person? Who once objected to having his life portrayed in a documentary, involving contact with the supernatural, which later turned out to be a publicity hoax, and what was his name before the one he has now which he made up himself? In 1833 a king instructed his sea captain to leave him on an island for a few hours for solitary hunting purposes. He came across the sole inhabitant of the island and was so impressed with the fact he was fluent in several languages and was well educated that he declared him king of the island. Who was this king, the hermit, and what was the name of this island which is now a republic? In an episode of 'Friends', Chandler comments on the origin of his last name, Bing. What did he say the Gaelic meaning was?
