(My daughter, Shortcake, who celebrates St. Elisabeth as one of her patrons prefers the Germanic spelling of her name so that's why you'll see it here today.)
We are going to try a new recipe today.
Kalacs (Hungarian Cinnamon Swirl Bread) seemed appropriate given the well-known story of St. Elisabeth and
the miracle of the bread turned to roses. You can read some more ideas for celebrating this Queen of the Poor over at
Catholic Culture. You can also download
this lovely tourist pamphlet of her birthplace for a little history/geography lesson.
Oh, and you can find a
coloring page here.
