VIDEO: Elizabeth: The Heart of a Saint

Source: The Romanov Royal Martyrs (YouTube)

July 18, 2022

As Mother Superior, Grand Duchess Elisabeth led an ascetic life. She fasted rigorously and existed only on a diet of milk, eggs and vegetables, and bread. She arose at midnight to pray in her chapel or to visit the hospital ward, frequently staying at the bedside of a patient in pain or fear, doing everything she could to soothe their anguish.

This video is produced as part of the project for the book "The Romanov Royal Martyrs”, which is an impressive 512-page book, featuring nearly 200 black & white photographs, and a 56-page photo insert of more than 80 high-quality images, colorized by the acclaimed Russian artist Olga Shirnina (Klimbim) and appearing here in print for the first time.

Love for God and love for mankind was the true meaning of her life, and it led the Grand Duchess to the cross. And her cross grew and met the Cross of Christ, and became her delight.
