[On her wedding day] How can I dare to wear such a splendid crown before a king with a crown of thorns in his head?

— Elizabeth of Hungary

Come posso osare di portare una corona così splendida davanti a un re con in capo una corona di spine?

More quotes by Elizabeth of Hungary

Here before my eyes is our sweet Saviour crowned with thorns. My crown would mock Him if I dared kneel at His feet bedecked with gold and jewels.

We women were allowed to stand at the Cross. We saw His wounds bleed and His eyes grow dim. As He was dying Jesus put His faith in us, we were to carry His love through the whole world and here we sit and have forgotten Him.
