Saint Odo of Urgell (Catalan: Ot, Odó or Dot Spanish: Odón) (c. 1065 – 1122) was a bishop of Urgell,[2] noted for his care for the poor. He was from the family of the counts of Pallars Sobirà. He is buried in the monastery of Santa Maria de Gerri. In 1133 his successor declared him to be a saint, and he is venerated as such today. Odo is one of the patron saints of the town of La Seu d'Urgell. His feast day is July 7.[3]
