What were the miracles of St. Elizabeth of Hungary?

St. Elizabeth (Elizabeth of Hungary) donated a large part of her money to the poor, built hospitals, and after the death of her husband made vows to remain celibate and not remarry.

See the Related Links section for information about the canonization process.

Answer 4

Miracles were not required for declaring a person a saint in the early

years of Chrisitianity. The person would have been declared a saint by

popular acclamation to a bishop based on the lives and merits of the

candidate. This was especially true if the person died the death of a

martyr as it was felt that making this ultimate sacrifice for Our Lord

would be an automatic designation of that person as a saint.

Even today, miracles are not always a requirement for canonization,

especially in the case of martyrs.

Answer 5

St. Elizabeth was declared a saint before the official canonization process was instituted in the 12th century. She would have been declared a saint to the bishop by those who knew him best and were familiar with her life and merits. The local bishop would them make the decision. Today only the pope can declare saints after years of study by the Sacred Congregation for the Causes of Saints in the Vatican. The church does not create saints. Only God can do that. The Church "screens" candidates for sainthood to determine if they had a life worthy of emmulation. In other words, do they make good role models. Also, the Church has to be assured that the person is actually in Heaven. That is the reason that today a number of miracles must be verified before a person can be declared a saint.
