Description: St Elizabeth of Hungary Holy Medal on 24" continuous Stainless steel chain Medal is made in Italy. It is brand new, nickel silver, also known as oxidized silver which means it is slightly tarnished purposely to show the details of the medal and to give it that great vintage look. The medal shows St Elizabeth reaching her hand down to help a poor person who is kneeling at her feet. She holds bread in her left hand and wears a crown. Medal is 7/8" long oval. It comes with a stainless steel continuous neckchain which means it does not have a clasp, so you can slip it on and off over your head without worrying about any clasp coming undone. Fits over most size heads. Comes gift boxed and with a gift bag, tissue paper and St Elizabeth of Hungary prayer card. Traditionally considered a beautiful young woman, St Elizabeth was a daughter of a king and a wife of another king, and ancestress, through her daughter Sophia, of many aristocratic German families. As princess and queen she led an exemplary life, but so short it is amazing that she was able to accomplish so much. She was a wife and mother who gave up all of her worldly wealth and comfort to found hospitals and give food and help to the poor. She lost her beloved husband after only a few years of marriage. She took a vow of celibacy even though powerful nobles tried to force her to remarry. She died in the year 1231 at the age of only 24, and soon after her death miracles of healing began to occur at the hospital where she was buried. Her cult spread throughout Europe during the middle ages. St Elizabeth is the patron saint of brides, hospitals, nurses, bakers, homeless people, exiles, dying children, lacemakers and widows. The prayer cards which come with our rosaries and medals are home-made, created using a "greeting card" program on my computer and printed in full color on high quality paper. Although they ae not like the usual, smaller professionally printed prayer cards, most of our customers prefer them since they are like a pamphlet with 4 "pages" and several images, prayers, patronages and often other information about the saint of Catholic devotion.
