She had every comfort the medieval world could offer. She gave most of it away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhile still a young wife and mother, she founded a hospital in honor of St. Francis and tended the sick herself, in person, with her own hands. She wore simple clothing and carried bread to the hungry, often in secret.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhen her husband Ludwig asked what she hid in her cloak one day, she opened it — and instead of bread, fresh roses fell out. The bread had been miraculously transformed into roses. He never questioned her charity again. It is a much beloved miracle, a tale of boundless generosity, empathy and love. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eLudwig died when Elizabeth was twenty. She was left a widow with three children, subject to a harsh spiritual director who sent her children away and treated her with great severity. She bore it with a faithfulness that astonished everyone who knew her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eShe died at twenty-four. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAfter her death, healing miracles were reported at her grave in such numbers that pilgrims came from across Europe in search of cures and answered prayers.. Within four years, the Church had canonized her. Her feast day is November 17th. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eShe is the patron of nurses, hospitals, caregivers, brides, widows, and all who serve the sick and the poor.
