Elisabetta Picenardi, also known as St. Elizabeth of Mantua, (ca. 1428 – 19 February 1468 A.D.) was an Italian tertiary of the Servite Order. Elisabetta Picenardi was born in Mantua into a noble family and, despite pressure to wed a nobleman, insisted instead on pursuing the religious path alongside her sister. Elizabeth and that sister entered the Third Order of the Servites after their mother's death. Elizabeth was known to have the gift of making predictions - with one prediction accurately made about her death, before it happened a year after. Many miracles were reported to have happened at her tomb (died ca. 1468 A.D.).
Her beatification received formal confirmation on 20 November 1804 A.D. when Pope Pius VII affirmed her popular devotion in the Servite Order and the dioceseses of Mantua and Cremona. Learn more from Wikipedia.org
