Скачать или смотреть Saint of the Day (July 4) – St. Elizabeth of Portugal

Saint Elizabeth of Portugal was born on July 4, 1271, in Zaragoza, Aragon (modern-day Spain), and died on July 4, 1336, in Estremoz, Portugal. She was a Catholic queen, wife, and mother who lived her royal life with deep faith, prayer, and charity.

Though her husband, King Denis, was unfaithful and her family often divided by political tension, Elizabeth remained patient, forgiving, and strong in her devotion to God. She used her position to feed the poor, found hospitals, and most famously to bring peace — once riding into a battlefield to stop a war between her husband and son.

Her feast day is celebrated on July 4, and she is honored as a patron of peace and reconciliation. Saint Elizabeth shows us how holiness can be lived out quietly, even in positions of power and pain.
