St. Elizabeth of Hungary — Patron of bakers... Feast Day: Nov. 17
On November 17th, the Church celebrates St. Elizabeth of Hungary, the patron saint of bakers. Born in 1207 to the Hungarian king, she was born into a life full of royal responsibilities. She was happily married and had three children. Her life of prayer and service to the poor was essential to everything she did, and her husband greatly supported her. Living her life as a third-order Franciscan, she used all the power and wealth that came with her royal position to advance her charitable endeavors, even giving away all the royal clothing and goods to those affected by disease and floods that struck her kingdom. She was famous for delivering bread to the poor in secret. One day as she was sneaking out a basket of bread, she was stopped and asked what it was. As she revealed the basket's contents, it was no longer bread but a glorious bouquet of roses! While she would die young, at 24, her life of prayer and service was lived to the fullest.
St. Elizabeth of Hungary, pray for us!
