This Saint Elizabeth the New Martyr prayer candle honors Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna, who gave up her wealth to serve the poor and was martyred in 1918. It is a meaningful Orthodox gift for women, nurses, and those who serve the sick.
About Saint Elizabeth. Elizabeth Feodorovna was born on November 1, 1864. In 1909 she sold much of her jewelry and possessions and used the proceeds to found the Convent of Saints Martha and Mary in Moscow, where she became abbess. The convent ran a hospital, a pharmacy, and an orphanage, and she often visited the city's poorest slums.
In 1918 the Bolsheviks took her to Alapayevsk, and on the night of July 17 she and others were thrown into a mine shaft. The Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia canonized her in 1981, and the Moscow Patriarchate in 1992.
Choose this candle for a nurse or caregiver, a charity or mission volunteer, a woman named Elizabeth on her name day, or an Orthodox parish.
