Elizabeth of Hungary lived for only 24 short years during the early part of the thirteenth century, yet experienced life as only few can; she was a princess, mother, queen, widow, exile, and one of the most pious women to ever live. Even after her exile by her in-laws, in the years following her husband’s death, she remained strong in her faith and never wavered in her devotion to the poor. Although she lived for less than a quarter of a century, she made more of an impact on an entire country than most people who live three times as long. She is still remembered in Germany as "dear St. Elizabeth" and her feast is celebrated on November 17 in the Roman Catholic Church. She is most remembered for using her wealth to build the Franciscan hospital at Marburg in the summer of 1228, where she devoted her heart and soul to the aid of the poor and sick. She died only a few years later, at the age of twenty-four. Within only four years, Pope Gregory IX named her a Saint (in May of 1235). She is most remembered for her gentle, charitable nature and complete devotion to God’ s will. Rev. Saint Germain will dress, bless and burn a Saint Elizabeth Candle on your behalf. At the conclusion of the ceremony (usually 5-7 days) he will e-mail a picture of the work and, if selected, a report of any interpretations & signs.
Please enter your name and your specific request in the provided fields. It would also help if you'd e-mail me a picture. After you order your candle you'll be redirected to a page where you can send me your picture and any further instructions. Thank you so much!
Candle vigils are a great way to connect with spiritual help & guidance, but sometimes stronger work is needed. If you believe your situation requires extra care, have a look at our special altar works.
