ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN NOVEMBER
Saints celebrated on the 27th of November
SAINT ODA, VIRGIN AND MARTYR
Saint Oda is venerated particularly in Rhoda in Brabant. The Bollandists* mention her several times (Feb. III. 673 Jul. II. 670 El.). Apparently, she died as a martyr in A.D. 726. Legend has it that she was blind but regained her sight through the intercession of Saint Lambert. Saint Oda is also commemorated on November 28, February 27, and July 9.
