Re: Source St. Hubert by Sunny100 on Monday, 13 December 2010(User Info | Send a Message) Yes, thats probably correct. Most holy wells are pre-Christian. It was a case of a saint (holy person) coming along and using the spring - in other words Christianizing it and imparting his/her holy powers into the spring itself. So in this case, I think, St Hubert made the spring his own.
