Life
Saint Elia of Ohren was the fifth abbess of the Benedictine monastery of Ohren at Trier in Germany, and reposed around the year 750. She is venerated as a saint in the Western Church and is commemorated on 20 June, according to the Benedictine Martyrology.
No other details of her life are known, though she is mentioned in many documents: in the breviary of Bishop Baldwin of Luxembourg, in the calendars of the monasteries of Saint Irmin and Saint Maximin and in the Martyrology of Usuard. In the Franciscan monastery at Ohren a supposed relic of the saint's arm is venerated.
