Elizabeth of Reute (also known as "Betha the Good; Betha von Reute; Elisabeth Acheer; Elisabeth Achlin; Elisabeth Bona von Reute; Elisabeth den Gode; Elisabeth the Good; Elizabeth Acheer; Elizabeth of Reute; Elizabeth the Good; Elizabeth the Recluse; Elsbeth Achler; Elsbeth Achlin; Elsbeth von Reute") (November 25, 1386-November 25, 1420) is a German saint. She was a member of Third Order of St. Francis. She was born at Waldsee in Swabia (an historic and linguistic region in Germany), and joined this order at the age of fourteen. She subsequently joined a new house for tertiaries at Reute on the outskirts of Waldsee.

Her head is said to have showed the marks of the crown of thorns worn by Christ, and her body the marks of Christ's scourging. Although Stigmata only occasionally appeared on her hands, she always felt its pain. She is credited with the gift of prophecy: she foretold the election of Martin V and the end of the Schism.

Veneration

She was buried in the church of Reute. A biography of her was written by her confessor and sent to the Bishop of Konstanz. However, popular veneration in Swabia for Elizabeth occurred only after 1623, when her tomb was opened by the provost of Waldsee. Miracles were attributed to her and Clement XIII officially approved her cult on 19 June 1766. Her feast is celebrated by the Franciscans on 25 November.
