St. Elizabeth of Hungary Comments
St. Elizabeth was born in Hungary in 1207, the daughter of Alexander II, King of Hungary. At the age of four she was sent for education to the court of the Landgrave of Thuringia, to whose infant son she was betrothed. As she grew in age, her piety also increased by leaps and bounds.

Today is my birthday and I got a statue of St. Elizabeth!! Yay!
super ganda
I chose St.Elizabeth of Hungary for my Confirmation name and project as she devoted herself to care for the poor until she died.
I figured out the answer. In case anyone wants to know he is also called Ludwig. Is her feast day November 17 or 19? Because I am writing a saint report for my Confirmation. I love her!!
i really need a saint forf my confirmation and i chose this woman :) i feel a connection and i really adore this person. this site is very helpful. need the info. thx a bunch :D
oh and Louis was her husband
i choose her because i feel very conected to her. she was a kind and loving saint and i love what she did for others. she gave up her own time to help the sick and the poor and that is why i admire her so much i chose her for my confirmation name
Is Louis, Elizabeth's husband, also called Ludwig?
Wow she is a great saint! im using her for my Confirmation name!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this saint!! I'm going to pick her as my Confirmation saint too.
The reason I chose St. Elizabeth of Hungary for my saint is because of what she went through with her husband's family after he died. I went through the same thing with my husband's family before and after my husband died. Except I wasn't stripped of my crown. But also because she cared for the sick. I work as a nurse aide @ a hospital.
thanck you so much ,I a'm doing a paper onher and I found it really helpful
this is a very good saint.im only 13 and i read all of this and think she is amzing.she died at age 24. she carred of the sick and everything.this is my saint name.my name is lisa........LISA ELIZABETH ....dont need to kno my last name :)
I'm afraid, there are small mistakes in the article about this wonderful saint. Her father was not Alexander (in Hungarian: Sandor) but Andrew (in Hungarian Andras or Endre, both forms are used). In Hungary her feast day is the 19th of November, not the 17th (see the first comment). I know, that in the Catholic Church the days of the saints are not necessarily the same in all countries.
I chose St Elizabeth because my Grandpa was very sick and I started to pray to her for him!
The feast day was helpful.
great great saint

Thank you!
