st. elizabeth of hungary died at the ripe old age of 24 after having three children, being widowed during the crusades, building a franciscan hospital, and tending to the sick. i am not sure how she got the gig as patroness of bakers. interestingly, she is also the patron saint of countesses, death of children, the falsely accused, the homeless, nursing services, tertiaries, widows, and young brides. busy lady.

Wait a minute... how long has that Edward Hopper painting been up there? I didn't notice that. I like Hopper.
