A Christian martyr and soldier saint, Eustachius was a Roman general named Placidus before converting to Christianity. While hunting near Rome, he saw a vision of a Crucifix lodged between a stag's antlers. He was immediately converted, and soon had himself and his family baptized. Captured by Emperor Hadrian after being forced to live in poverty, he refused to revert his religion. He and his family were martyred together by being burned alive inside a bronze statue of a bull.
