Life

Saint Oda, martyr, was a woman of the ancient diocese of Toul, in Lorraine, France. She died a martyr on 23 October 362, in the persecutions of the emperor Julian. She is commemorated on 16 February.

She was a sister in the faith of Saints Eucharius, Elophe and Libaria. She is venerated at Saint-⁠Ouen-⁠lès-⁠Parey, in the commune of Bulgnéville. The altar holding the reliquary with her relics, and the place where they were found, took the name Saint-⁠Ouen, a masculine form of the name.

Her commemoration on 16 February was kept in the old liturgy of the diocese of Toul. Her veneration was of great importance to the canonesses of the abbey of Poussay.
