November 17
Why this day? This is the day the name-day calendar sets aside for Saint Elizabeth of Hungary.
A Hungarian princess of the 13th century, who became a widow in Thuringia at the age of twenty. She left the comfort of the court to personally care for the sick and the poor, working until she was completely exhausted. Her concrete dedication left a lasting impression on her contemporaries.
What stays with us: One can choose to redefine one's worth not by status, but by usefulness to others. It is proof that generosity can be a form of personal strength.
