Synopsis: From the book: Combining legend, historical background, and the authentic inscription, this is the story of Odilia--how Odilia lived, how she was affected by the troubles of her time, how she came to know and love Christ so much that she willingly and joyfully gave her life for Him. After death, her story continued as she became the patroness of the Order of the Holy Cross in an unusual and striking manner, and continues to this day. Odilia, the Patroness of the Order of the Holy Cross and the Patroness of the Blind and Afflicted, should not be confused with the later St. Odilia, born blind at birth and healed at baptism, who is also a patron saint of the blind.
