Saint Giles and the Hind
In the Middle Ages, there were countless saints who could protect believers from every disease or disaster. Saint Giles, dressed and shorn like a Benedictine monk, was the patron saint of hunters, foresters, archers and cattle dealers. The hind (red deer) recalls one of his legendary deeds: he protected the animal from the arrows shot by a king out hunting.
