ODILIA - Miracle happening for those who can believe

Description

ODILIA - Miracle happening for those who can believe According to the story from the 10th century AD, Odilia was born at the Hohenburg, Obernai community. She was the daughter of Duke Eticho and his wife Bereswinde and was born blind.
For this reason, Eticho wanted to have her killed. But her mother saved her by having the child taken to the Palma Monastery. The monastery, later dedicated to Odilia, is located in Baume-les-Dames on the Doubs. There, Odilia regained her sight at the age of 12 after being baptized by Bishop Erhard of Regensburg.
Odilia's brother Hugo took her to Hohenburg against her father's instructions. The angry father struck Hugo so hard that he fell onto a stone and died instantly. Odilia had to flee from Hohenburg because she did not want to accept her father's marriage plans. She was able to escape into a crevice in the rock near the present-day St. Ottilien Chapel in Freiburg im Breisgau in the Musbachtal.
The father was now convinced that Odilia was under God's protection and handed over Hohenburg to her. Odilia founded the women's monastery and became its first abbess.
She also founded a second monastery at the foot of Mount Odilia. Her tomb on Mount Odilia remains one of the most important pilgrimage sites in France.
