St. Elizabeth of Hungary was born into royalty and married the King, but she preferred spending her time with the poor of their kingdom.  She was extremely generous.  St. Elizabeth is holding bread, ready to take it to the needy.  This princess saint knew that real treasure is stored in heaven, not on Earth!  After her husband's death, St. Elizabeth went on to open a hospital for the poor, where she worked for the rest of her life.
