If Our Lord chose to perform any miracles through St. Elizabeth, there is no record of them except for one. Elizabeth was beyond child bearing years but she gave birth to St. John the Baptist.
Elizabeth (Hebrew: 'E‧li‧she′va‛, meaning "my God is plenty" or "God of Plenty"), was
the wife of the priest Zechariah. She came from the priestly family of Aaron the Levite, and was advanced in years when the angel Gabriel appeared to Zechariah and announced that Elizabeth would give birth to John. Upon becoming pregnant, Elizabeth kept herself secluded for five months, and in the sixth month of her pregnancy she was visited by her relative Mary, who had just become pregnant with Jesus.
On that occasion the unborn John leaped in his mother's womb, and Elizabeth, filled with holy spirit, blessed Mary and the fruit of her womb, calling her "the mother of my Lord."-Luke 1:5-7, 11-13, 24, 39-43.

As the full moon brightly reflects the light of the sun,
you reflected the glory of the Messiah, the Light of wisdom!
With Zachariah you walked in all of the Lord¹s commandments, Elizabeth, beloved by God.
So as we bless you with fitting songs,
we praise the Lord, the bountiful Light, Who enlightens all.
