We know little about St. Elizabeth except that she was the mother of St. John the Baptist, wife of Zacariy and a cousin of the Blessed Virgin Mary. She is honored as a saint because she was chosen by God, in her old age, to be the mother of the person who would later become the one who announced the coming of Our Lord.
