Sainte Odile - December 13

Saint Odile of Alsace, also known as Odilia and Ottilia, born c. 662 - c. 720 at Mont Sainte-Odile), is a saint venerated in the Roman Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church.

Born to the family of the Lord Aldaric (aka Etichon, aka Athich) and Bereswinda; because she was born disabled, the family decided to put her out. Rather that having her catholicsaints.info/patrons-of-dying-people/, she was given to a catholicsaints.info/patrons-of-peasants/ family. Taken in by a catholicsaints.info/convent/ at age twelve, she gained her catholicsaints.info/patrons-of-eyes/ upon being touched by catholicsaints.info/chrism/ during her catholicsaints.info/baptism/ by catholicsaints.info/saints/ catholicsaints.info/saint-erhard-of-regensburg/. Her brother wanted her back for use in an arranged catholicsaints.info/matrimony/; when he heard of his son’s machinations and Odilia’s catholicsaints.info/miracle/ catholicsaints.info/patrons-of-healers/, her catholicsaints.info/patrons-of-fathers/ was so angry that he struck and catholicsaints.info/patrons-of-dying-people/ the brother. Odilia raised her brother back to life, then fled to the catholicsaints.info/convent/ to escape the catholicsaints.info/matrimony/. Her catholicsaints.info/patrons-of-fathers/ followed her, but when a mountain opened a cave to hide her, and then dropped rocks on him, he gave up the idea. She joined the catholicsaints.info/abbey/, and eventually became catholicsaints.info/abbess/. Founded the Hohenburg Abbey on the Odilienberg mountain in catholicsaints.info/patrons-of-alsace-france/.
