Elizabeth of Hungary, Wife, Mother and Religious

Saint Elizabeth lived a short but intense life, dying before her 25th birthday. She was the daughter of Alexander II, King of Hungary, and she married a holy man, Louis of Thuringia. Together, they lived a simple life, practicing penance, and devoting themselves to works of charity. When tragedy struck and her husband was killed, Elizabeth renounced the world and became a nun, devoting herself to the care of the sick until her death.
