ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN SEPTEMBER
Saints celebrated on the 26th of September
Henriquez* lists this holy Cistercian as "Saint Odanus", and Chalemont* gives him the title "Blessed."
The Bollandists* reckon that this Odan (Odanus) might be the same person as Adanus, Bishop of Armagh, who lived at the end of the 11th and beginning of the 12th century, and who is honoured as a very learned, holy and ecclesiastical man. (VII.188)
