SAINT-HUBERT

municipality, Luxembourg province, southeastern Belgium. It lies in the Ardennes Forest, northwest of Arlon. An abbey founded there in the early years of the 8th century preceded a much longer-lived Benedictine abbey (817), which was occupied until 1796 and which is named after St. Hubert, the patron saint of huntsmen, who was buried there. His vision of a stag with a crucifix between its antlers is said to have occurred in the nearby Forest of Freyr in 683. His coffin, hidden by the abbey's monks during an invasion (1616), has never been found. The Abbey of Saint-Hubert was rebuilt in 1729 and was used as a penitentiary until 1954. The town of Saint-Hubert that grew up around the abbey is the object of an annual pilgrimage to the Church of St. Hubert (152668), which contains relics of the saint.
