St. Elizabeth of Hungary is known for the miracle of the roses. According to legend, while delivering loaves of bread to the poor, Elizabeth came across her husband and his hunting party. Her husband, who often chided her for her charity, asked her what she was hiding beneath her cloak. When she opened her cloak, a bouquet of roses appeared in place of the loaves in her basket, at last convincing her husband of the worthiness of her charitable endeavors.
