Legend has it that St. Odilia (660–720) was born blind to the family of Alsatian Lord Adalrich and his wife Bereswinda. Rather than have her killed for her infermity, Odilia was given to a peasant family. Taken in by a convent at age twelve, she gained sight upon being baptized by Saint Erhard of Regensburg. In 690, she founded a cloister in Hohenburg, Alsace. Another Alsatian cloister was founded by her at the base of Mont Sainte Odile, where she died as abbess circa 720. Her feast day is December 13. She is known as patron saint of the eye-diseased and sightless people.
