"During the turmoil of late 19th and early 20th century European politics and war, Grand Duchess Elisabeth is a shining example of compassion. One of Queen Victoria's granddaughters and a priviledged life, Elisabeth's mother still taught her about caring for others less fortunate. She visited the sick and poor with her mother; learned healing isn't just physical but spiritual as well. Her marriage to Grand Duke Sergei Feodorovna, of the Romanovs, turned from idealistic love to disappointment. She remained loyal during the 20 year marriage, but found other outlets of happiness. She was also the sister of Alexandra, wife of Tsar Nicholas II. Elisabeth's husband was assasinated and it changed her life completely. Instead of being afraid, she sold/gave away her clothes/jewels. With the money, Elisabeth open a convent for women that would care for the poor, sick...no one was turned away. She become a nun herself and was influential in the care of many in Moscow and other cities/towns. With the influence of Rasputin on Alexandra, Elisabeth did try and make her realize he was a threat not a help in Russia's future. In 1918, Elisabeth along with a faithful friend and some members of the Romanov family, were taken to a small town in Siberia. Not far away, her sister and family were brutally murdered. She never knew. Elisabeth and her group was led to an abandoned mine, beat over the head and pushed down the dark mine shaft. After, rocks were thrown down by her murderers to make sure they all died. When the bodies were found, it was discovered that Elisabeth and one other had lived for awhile instead of dying right away. Their bodies were eventually moved. The priest who had her body taken experienced 2-3 appearances of Elisabeth who was finally laid to rest at an Orthodox church in Jerusalem and made a saint in their religion. Her life was truly amazing. The choices during her lifetime may have changed the outcome of Russia's future, but we'll never know."
