Life

Saint Elizabeth the Venerable Martyr is commemorated in the Greek calendar on 25 January (new style, the calendar of the Church of Greece) as a venerable martyr. The English calendar gives the same day to the Venerable New Martyr Elizabeth Romanova (Grand Duchess Elizabeth Fyodorovna, born Princess of Hesse), martyred in 1918 and celebrated on 5 July; she is very probably the same person, but the Greek sources do not say so plainly.

No further details of her life are found in the sources consulted.

Commemorated the same day January 25
