Blessed Oda Of Rivreulle

Blessed Oda of Rivroelles was born to the nobility in the Brabant region during an era when arranged marriages were common practice. However, Oda had a different calling in life - she desired to dedicate herself to a religious vocation. Rather than succumbing to an arranged marriage to a young nobleman, she made the difficult decision to disfigure her own face. This act shocked her family, but it ultimately persuaded them to allow Oda to follow her true calling.
