And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Legend of St. Hubert, oil con canvas. — Samuel John Carter (British, 1835-1892)
The Patron Saint of Hunters. My wife and I both have St Hubert pendants we wear during hunting season. We also have a variation of this scene on display at hunting camp.
I had to search, and what I found was amazing.
ReplyDeleteThe image of the glowing crucifix between the buck's antlers is still on bottles of Ja'germeister

ReplyDeleteThe white stag. There's a herd of white deer at the old Seneca Army Depot in Upstate New York. https://deerhavenpark.org/
