DESCRIPTION SUMMARY: St. Elizabeth of Hungary is a Roman Catholic religious complex located opposite Patterson Park in eastern Baltimore. Developed over the period 1895- 1926, it comprises four buildings: a two-story, gable-fronted brick structure erected in 1895 as the original church, parish hall, and rectory; a large stone Romanesque church building constructed in 1912; a three-story convent built in 1922; and a large three-story parochial school which was added to the site in 1926. The convent and school are faced with Woodstock granite and feature cast- stone detailing to correspond with the material and Romanesque style exhibited by the 1912 church. The buildings retain good integrity to the period of their construction. The complex occupies a city block directly opposite Patterson Park; the original building and the present church front on East Baltimore Street, facing the park, at the south end of the lot, with the convent located at the north end of the property and the school filling the center of the block. • The complex is located within a dense urban neighborhood of two- and three-story masonry rowhouses, chiefly developed in the last decade of the nineteenth century and first quarter of the twentieth. o fiTl See continuation sheet no. 1 fro General Description 8.

SIGNIFICANCE SUMMARY: St. Elizabeth of Hungary parish in East Baltimore was established in 1895 during a period of rapid growth in the Baltimore archdiocese. The complex typifies parish development as mandated by the church authorities. New parishes were to have both a church and a school with emphasis on the school. The priority of construction was the school first and then the church if there were insufficient funds to build both. At St. Elizabeth, the first building was a • combination church and school. As the parish expanded services provided to its membership (societies, gym, library), the physical plant grew. A convent was built in 1921 and a new school building in 1926. New parish schools were being built, as is the case here, to the standards used by the public school system to make parish schools attractive to the membership. By the start of World War II, St. Elizabeth of Hungry was one of the largest parishes in the archdiocese. At this time the Baltimore archdiocese included all of the state of Maryland minus the Eastern Shore, but also included the District of Columbia. In 1931, the St. Elizabeth school had the largest student enrollment, 1,500 students, in the archdiocese. o ODSee continuation sheet no. 8 for Historic Context and Maryland Comprehensive Historic Preservation Plan Data 9.

The property is bounded on the south by East Baltimore Street, on the east by Belnord Avenue (formerly Baxter Street), on the north by Fairmount Avenue, and on the west by Lakewood Avenue (formerly Patapsco Street). The property faces Patterson Park on the opposite side of East Baltimore Street. The original building, located at the southwest corner of the property, was constructed in 1895 as a combination church, parish hall/parochial school, and priest's residence. It is a rectangular gable-roofed brick building, two stories high on a raised basement, with the principal gable facade oriented to the south. The facade is three bays wide; the entrance is located in the central bay, • which is treated as a slightly projecting pavilion. The entrance is framed by an arch within a Classical surround. A belt course marks the transition between the first and second stories. On the second story, the central bay holds two stacked pairs of sash windows within a recess framed by pilasters. The pilasters are topped with simple capitals, from which springs a large semicircular arch with a decorative keystone. The central pavilion is capped by a pediment; this feature, and the cornice molding which follows the eaves and returns at the corners, are executed in copper. The outlying bays are blank at the first-floor level; on the second story, each of these has a semicircular-arched recess holding a single sash window. The southernmost bays of the side elevations are treated similarly. This portion of the building has been covered with artificial siding in imitation of roughly-dressed blocks; this alteration most likely took place in the early twentieth century, in an attempt to make the brick building's appearance conform more closely to that of the other buildings in the complex, which are constructed of granite.

  • St. Elizabeth of Hungary
    St. Elizabeth of Hungary Daily Saints / Saints Fuente: www.ewtn.com Also called St. Elizabeth of Thuringia, born in Hungary, probably at Pressburg, 1207; died at Marburg, Hesse, 17 November (not 19 November), 1231. She was a daughter of King Andrew II of Hungary (1205-35) and his wife Gertrude, a member of the family of the Counts of Andechs-Meran; Elizabeth's brother succeeded his father on the throne of Hungary as Bela IV; the sister of her mother, Gertrude, was St. Hedwig, wife of Duke Heinrich I, the Bearded, of Silesia, while another saint, St. Elizabeth (Isabel) of Portugal (d. 1336), the wife of the tyrannical King Diniz of that country, was her great-niece. In 1211 a formal embassy was sent by Landgrave Hermann I of Thuringia to Hungary to arrange, as was customary in that age, a marriage between his eldest son Hermann and Elizabeth, who was then four years old. This plan of a marriage was the result of political considerations and was intended to be the ratification of a great alliance which in the political schemes of the time it was sought to form against the German Emperor Otto IV, a member of the house of Guelph, who had quarrelled with the Church. Not long after this the little girl was taken to the Thuringian court to be brought up with her future husband and, in the course of time, to be betrothed to him. The court of Thuringia was at this period famous for its magnificence. Its centre was the stately castle of the Wartburg, splendidly placed on a hill in the Thuringian Forest near Eisenach, where the Landgrave Hermann lived surrounded by poets and minnesingers, to whom he was a generous patron.

While Elizabeth was very young, her father arranged for her to be married to Ludwig IV of Thuringia, a German nobleman. Because of this plan, Elizabeth was sent away at the age of four for education at the court of the Landgrave of Thuringia. Elizabeth's mother, Gertrude, was murdered in 1213 when Elizabeth was just six-years- old. According to history, the murder was carried out by Hungarian noblemen due to the conflict between Germans and the Hungarian nobles. From this point on, Elizabeth's perspective on life and death dramatically changed and she sought peace with prayer.

  • HTA: Saint of the Week
    HTA: Saint of the Week St Elizabeth of Hungary In her short life, Elizabeth manifested such great love for the poor and suffering that she has become the patroness of Catholic charities and of the Secular Franciscan Order. The daughter of the King of Hungary, Elizabeth chose a life of penance and asceticism when a life of leisure and luxury could easily have been hers. This choice endeared her in the hearts of the common people throughout Europe. At the age of 14, Elizabeth was married to Louis of Thuringia, whom she deeply loved. She bore three children. Under the spiritual direction of a Franciscan friar, she led a life of prayer, sacrifice, and service to the poor and sick. Seeking to become one with the poor, she wore simple clothing. Daily she would take bread to hundreds of the poorest in the land who came to her gate. After six years of marriage, her husband died in the Crusades, and Elizabeth was grief-stricken. Her husband’s family looked upon her as squandering the royal purse, and mistreated her, finally throwing her out of the palace. The return of her husband’s allies from the Crusades resulted in her being reinstated, since her son was legal heir to the throne. In 1228, Elizabeth joined the Secular Franciscan Order, spending the remaining few years of her life caring for the poor in a hospital which she founded in honour of Saint Francis of Assisi. Elizabeth’s health declined, and she died before her 24th birthday in 1231. Her great popularity resulted in her canonization four years later.

    Elizabeth of Hungary For other Hungarian princesses named Elizabeth, see Elizabeth of Hungary (disambiguation). Elizabeth of Hungary, T.O.S.F.,(German: Heilige Elisabeth von Thüringen, Hungarian: Árpád-házi Szent Erzsébet, 7 July 1207 – 17 November 1231)[5] was a princess of the Kingdom of Hungary, Landgravine of Thuringia, Germany and a greatly venerated Catholic saint.[6] Elizabeth was married at the age of 14, and wid- owed at 20. After her husband’s death she sent her chil- dren away and regained her dowry, using the money to build a hospital where she herself served the sick. She became a symbol of Christian charity after her death at the age of 24 and was quickly canonized. 1 Early life and marriage Elizabeth was the daughter of King Andrew II of Hun- gary and Gertrude of Merania. Her mother’s sister was St. Hedwig of Andechs, wife of Duke Heinrich I of Silesia.[5] Her ancestry included many notable figures of European royalty, going back as far as Vladimir the Great of Kievan Rus.

  • Saint Agnes of Bohemia
    Saint Agnes of Bohemia SAINT OF THE DAY 02-03-2020 Saint Agnes of Bohemia (1211-1282), inflamed as she was by love of God, had no doubt when choosing between the emperor, who had asked her to be his bride, and the King of the universe. This earned her the admiration of a very humble bride of Christ, Saint Clare of Assisi (1193-1253), who from the monastery of Saint Damian wrote her letters that reveal the great spiritual communion that had been established between the two. Agnes was born in Prague into a very noble family with many examples of holiness. First cousin of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, she was the daughter of Ottokar I, King of Bohemia, and his wife Constance. At the age of three she was entrusted to the care of Saint Hedwig of Andechs, sister-in-law of her uncle Andrew II of Hungary, who raised her in the monastery she had founded in the Polish Trzebnica, instilling in her the first elements of the Christian faith. She continued to be educated in her homeland by Premonstratensian nuns, but at the age of eight she was betrothed to her peer Henry, son of Frederick II of Swabia, and shortly afterwards taken to the court in Vienna to receive an education consonant with a future sovereign. Without ever forgetting the Christian virtues, she lived at the Austrian court until 1225, when the betrothal pact was dissolved (the Duke of Austria, again for dynastic convenience, arranged for his daughter to marry Henry) and Agnes was free to return to Prague.

  • Saint Elisabeth of Hungary and Saint Isabella of Portugal, a Religious and Cultural Itinerary Between Central Europe and Portugal
    9th Annual International Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage Conference: Two saints, two aristocrats: Saint Elisabeth of Hungary and Saint Isabella of Portugal, a religious and cultural itinerary between Central Europe and Portugal Name of the author Dr. Isilda Leitão Estoril Higher Institute for Tourism and Hotel Studies (ESHTE) - Portugal [email protected]. Biography Isilda Leitão PhD in Filología Española (Portuguese and Spanish Comparative Literature and History of Culture, 19th and 20th centuries) and “Mention of European PhD”, has been a senior lecturer in ESHTE since 1996. She taught in Portuguese and foreign universities. She is author of scientifc papers about Cultural, Religious and Literary Tourism. Abstract Elisabeth of Hungary (1207-1231), princess/landgrave of Thuringia, and Isabella (Isabel-Elisabeth) of Aragon (1271-1336), queen of Portugal, were two nobles who became famous due to their acts and religious practices. They are linked by the deep faith they felt, the Religious Order they followed (Saint Francis), their humble lives and the services they paid to poor and sick people. They are also related by the royal blood of Hungary’s House/Empire of Arpad, with Saint Isabella of Portugal being the great- niece of Elisabeth of Hungary (San Vicente, 1995). They are equally linked by the miracle that, among others, earned them immortality: “the miracle of the roses”. With this paper, after a biographical approach to these entities, we seek to draw a religious and cultural itinerary interlinking Central Europe and Portugal, based upon the great devotion to Saint Isabel which still survives in at least Portugal almost some seven hundred years later.
