Elizabeth of Hungary was an extraordinary saint. She was married to her husband Louis of Thuringa, when she was 14. A few years later Elizabeth received a vision that changed her life. It was the feast of the Assumption, and she walked into church wearing her golden crown and a beautiful gown. She looked at the crucifix, and seemed to see the blood of Jesus flow from his hands and heart into a pool of blood near her feet. She looked at the crown of thorns he wore on his head. She then thought of all her own riches, she removed her golden crown and placed it on the altar and bowed in adoration. She did not know what God wanted from her yet but she was very willing.
