Elizabeth was born in Zaragoza, Spain, in 1271 and married King Denis of Portugal in 1282. Throughout her life, Elizabeth demonstrated great compassion for the poor and legend says that she would leave the palace in disguise, to bring food to the less lucky. The miracle of the roses happens one day when the king discovered that Elizabeth was leaving the palace to bring food to the poor. This is something the queen was forbidden to do. The king had threatened to lock her up and she would never leave the palace again if she disobeyed. Despite this, the Queen never stopped feeding the poor and every day she left the palace and helped her people. One winter day, Elizabeth left the palace carrying pieces of bread hidden in her dress. When the king saw her come out, he asked, "What are you carrying?" She replied, “Rose, my lord.” Since it was winter and roses were nowhere to be found at that time and in this cold weather, he asked her to show him what she was carrying. When the queen opened her dress, the roses fell to the floor. The transformation of bread into roses is a miracle attributed to Saint Elizabeth of Portugal, a woman who set an example of devotion to God and kindness towards her people. After her husband's death in 1325, she entered the monastery of Santa Clara a Velha in Coimbra where she lived until 1336, the year she died. Pope Urban VIII canonized her in 1625.

Miracle of Roses is a blissful nectar that evokes sanctified smells and the emotions of kindness.
