St. Hedwig

Widow (III Class)
St. Hedwig, duchess of Poland, of royal stock and the maternal aunt of St. Elizabeth of Hungary, retired into a Cistercian convent after the death of her husband. She died in 1243.

We've had some requests lately for more pictures of Maria at home in Gaming. Truly you should get on Lisa's case about this. She, Maria, and the camera are almost always in the same vicinity. In the meantime, however, I hope that these will help. In the first, she is whirling about the room making it quite difficult to get a clear picture. Below, I managed to get her to stand still for a full three seconds.

Is that Dominic's picture she's holding? What a proud cousin!

Good eyes! Yes, it sure is. She is really happy with that picture. She talks about "baby cousin Dominic" and even likes to mimic the face that he is making in the picture.
