Princess Elisabeth of Hesse and by Rhine (1864-1918), also known as Ella, was a German princess and Russian saint. She married Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich of Russia and was deeply involved in charity, founding the Marfo-Mariinsky Convent in Moscow. After her husband's assassination in 1905, Elisabeth became a nun and devoted her life to serving the poor and sick. Tragically, she was murdered by the Bolsheviks in 1918 and thrown into a mine shaft with other Romanovs, where she died from injuries and suffocation.
