ST. ELIZABETH OF HUNGRY AND HER SIGNIFICANCE TO ST. MARY'S

Today is the feast of St. Elizabeth of Hungry.  She was born in 1207, married the landgrave Luis IV of Germany and was the mother of 3 children.  She is famous for her generous care of the poor and sick.  She died at the age of 24 in 1231 and was canonized in 1235. 

St. Elizabeth of Hungry is a very significant saint for Sandusky’s St. Mary’s Church for it is from St. Elizabeth Church in Marburg Germany that our own St. Mary’s Church is built and modeled after and it is from St. Elizabeth in Marburg that many of the founders of St. Mary’s Church came from. 

St. Elizabeth of Hungry can be seen in the stained glass window in the very front of church; the second window from the right.  As in most art work depicting St. Elizabeth, she is seen in her princely robes with a crown and bears an apron full of roses.  St. Boniface, the patron saint of Germany, is the other saint depicted in that window.
