  Odo of Cluny - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He was the son of a feudal lord of Deols, near Le Mans and received his early education at the court of William the Pious, duke of Aquitaine, then studied at Paris under Remigius of Auxerre.
Authorized by a privilege of Pope John XI in 931, Odo reformed the monasteries in Aquitaine, northern France, and Italy.
Odo became the great reforming abbot of Cluny, which became the model of monasticism for over a century and transformed the role of piety in European daily life (see clunian Reforms).

One of the hundred sent out by The Founders long ago to explore the galaxy, Odo was found adrift in the Denorios Belt by Bajorans in 2356 who (indirectly) gave him his name: since Odo had not yet learned how to adopt a humanoid appearance, he appeared in his natural gelatinous form.
During the occupation, Gul Dukat had originally enlisted Odo in order to investigate the murder of one of the Bajoran station workers; since Odo was seen as a neutral observer, sympathizing with no one, he was considered a valuable security officer.
Soon after, Odo discovered that all three men were innocent and that Odo's lax investigative procedures caused a serious miscarriage of justice, prompting Odo to be much more insistent on actual justice (not necessarily the actual letter of the law).

 Cluny   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Odo was a saintly and apparently very charming man, who had found in the Benedictine Rule the most perfect guide to salvation and whose only wish was to establish it as widely as possible in its strictest and most orthodox form.
Cluny suffered severely from the onslaughts of the two 18th-century movements hostile to anything medieval: the Enlightenment, with its classical mania for regularity and uniformity, and the Revolution.
Cluny was sold in 1798, a street was built through the nave of the church; in 1811 the bell towers of the sanctuary were dynamited, the ruins used as a rock quarry up to 1823, till finally it was accorded protection in 1826.

 S Y N T H E S I S - Cluny & the Origins of Medieval Monasticism
In 926 Odo took over the running of the monastery and was seen by many as "a living embodiment of the Benedictine ideal"[1] Odo had gained his experience at Baume and his very actions seemed to encapsulate the monastic piety which had arisen from a strict avoidance of worldly distraction.
Odo even travelled to Rome in order to assist Senator Alberic with monastic reform in Northern Italy, although Alberic himself had formerly been known as "an unscrupulous oppressor of the monks"[3] by way of his greedy expropriation of monastic land and property.
Cluny was also able to undertake the direction of other monasteries and, by becoming the first abbey to be "exempted from Episcopal oversight"[4] and thus remaining immune from any direct dependence upon the diocesan bishop, was granted permission by Pope John XI to take in dissatisfied fugitives from other abbeys.

Claude Carozzi has detected behind Helgaud's Robert the model of an earlier saint, Odo of Cluny's Gerald of Aurillac. For the Cluniacs, it was important that an important lay aristocrat friendly to the monks should remain in the world (saeculum) rather than convert to the monastic life and withdrawing from the world.
He took joy in the saints' relics which he had fittingly adorned with gold and silver, in the white vestments, the priestly clothes, the precious crosses, the chalices made of fine gold, the censers which let forth a choice incense, the silver vases [containing water] to purify the hands of the priest.
Odo's Life of Gerald of Aurillac has been translated into English by Gerard Stilwell, Saint Odo of Cluny, being the Life of St. Odo of Cluny by John of Salerno and the life of Gerald of Aurillac by St. Odo (London, 1958).

We have seen in our discussion of Gerald of Aurillac how Odo of Cluny's conclusion that Gerald had in fact been a saint had led him to accept the proposition that the end of time was not imminent and that the world was susceptible of reform.
Cluny did so, but only on the condition that the reformed establishments would then belong to Cluny and be independent of local officials.
Cluny became, in many ways, the dynamo that powered the engine of reform directed toward rescuing the Church from feudalism and rescuing lay society as well.

In 1211-12 William was debited with a fine to the crown, for Odo to have the custodia of Cheriton church, near Folkestone.

The calendar of saints is a traditional Christian method of organising a liturgical year on the level of days by associating each day with a saint, and referring to the day as the saint's day of that saint.
Medievalists continue the old tradition of dating by saints' days: their works may appear "dated" as "The Feast of Saint Martin" or "Lammastide".
Poets such as John Keats commemorate the importance of The Eve of Saint Agnes.
