Describe the legend of Sainte-Odile
Saint Odile was the daughter of Etichon-Aldaric, Duke of Alsace. Blind from birth, Odile's life was in danger due to her father's angry reaction - he had wanted a son, to ensure the survival of the lineage. To protect her daughter, Odile's mother sent her to the Abbaye de la Balme (now known as the Baume-les-Dames) at the age of 12, where she miraculously recovered her sight when she was baptised. Much to her father's displeasure, Odile returned to Alsace, and in a moment of anger Etichon-Aldaric killed one of his sons. Filled with remorse, he subsequently welcomed his daughter with open arms. However, he then attempted to marry Odile against her will, refusing to recognise that she was married to the Lord. Odile fled to the Black Forest, but Etichon-Aldaric finally came to accept his daughter's destiny, and founded an Abbey, the Mont Sainte-Odile, which overlooks the town of Obernai. St Odile was made Patron Saint of Alsace in 1946 by Pope Pius XII. Catholics pray to St Odile to cure problems relating to eyesight.
