Saint Odilia of Cologne was a Christian virgin and martyr of the early Church. According to the ancient tradition, she belonged to the community of holy women who served Christ and witnessed to the Gospel in the Rhineland.
Odilia remained faithful during persecution and gave her life for Jesus Christ. The Church remembers her with gratitude among the early martyrs of Cologne and asks that her witness strengthen Christians who suffer for the faith.
