Miracle of the roses

St. Elizabeth of Hungary: Miracle of the roses by Karl von Blaas, 1839.

Within Catholicism, a miracle of the roses is a miracle in which roses manifest an activity of God or of a saint.[1] Such a miracle is presented in various hagiographies and legends in different forms,[2] and it occurs in connection with diverse individuals such as Saints Elizabeth of Hungary (1207–1231), Elizabeth of Portugal (1271–1336), Saint Dorothy, a 4th-century virgin martyr at Caesarea in Cappadocia (died ca. 311), and Our Lady of Guadalupe (appeared in 1531).
