(French: a refuge)
An asylum; especially an institution providing shelter to travelers. Such assistance was commonly rendered by all monasteries; but in places where travelers were common, and the difficulties and dangers of the road brought many into need, the work of aiding and sheltering the needy became a special work. Perhaps the most famous example, enduring to our day, is the Hospice of Saint Bernard, conducted by Augustinian monks, upon the passes of Saint Bernard across the Alps.
