St. Eustachius is honored every Sept. 20 with a feast day for those who follow the pre-1970 Roman calendar. Often depicted with a hunter's bow, cross, and stag symbol, he's the patron saint of hunters and hunting along with fire prevention, firefighters, and challenging situations. He lived in the Second Century.

A nobleman who converted to Christianity, he was a Roman general who was overcome with a vision of Christ's crucifixion while hunting deer in Tivoli. Adversity in many forms afflicted him after that. He was persecuted and martyred in Rome.
