The walls of the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels has a tapestry that reflects the diversity of the Catholic Church and the Faith. A picture of Elizabeth of Portugal is apart of this tapestry.
Elizabeth of Portugal's Feast Day is July 4th, she was canonized by Pope Urban VIII in 1625.
She is also called Isabella and a Queen of Portugal and Franciscan tertiary. Daughter of King Pedro (Peter) III, Elizabeth of Portugal is a native of Aragon, Spain.
Elizabeth of Portugal was wed at the age of twelve to the corrupt and immoral King Denis of Portugal. She earned the respect of monarchs of the Iberian Peninsula for her abilities to negotiate ends to disputes and conflicts, especially monarchs of Castile, Aragon, and Portugal. Marriage difficulties were also something Elizabeth of Portugal overcame.
Not only is Elizabeth of Portugal known as Isabella, she is also known as "The Peacemaker."
When her Husband King Denis died in 1325, Elizabeth of Portgal-Isabella "the Peacemaker" entered the Poor Clares as a Franciscan tertiary. She died in Estremoz, Portugal.
