Today is the Feast of St. Elizabeth of Hungary. Here is a great bit about her.

At the door of the church, St. Elizabeth always took off the crown, and when asked why, she replied: “God forbid that I should ever appear with such a crown before the face of Him Who was crowned with thorns, and Who, out of love for me, was nailed to the cross.” pic.twitter.com/9l89e3yhDL

The Summit Domincans also make candles for Advent Wreaths!
