Abstract
The conference paper focused on the pilgrimages of noble women to the graves of saints, which can be seen as places of spiritual encounter with holiness. Elizabeth Thuring's model of life, soon revered after her death and soon canonized, attracted unusual attention, among other things, at the European royal courts and inspired many noble women to follow.
The desire to participate in the holiness of Elizabeth of Thuringia manifested itself in the level of pilgrimages to the grave or the gathering of the remains of a saint as early as the 13th century. The pilgrimage of the Hungarian queen widow Elizabeth Elbow, who, together with Emperor Charles IV, can be considered a representative peak of respect for St.
Elizabeth in Central Europe. and in 1357 he married his wife Anna Svídnická to Marburk to the tomb of a saint.
