Feast of St. Blaise

Saturday February 3rd 

Blaise was a hard-working bishop dedicated to encouraging the spiritual and physical health of his people in Sebastea, Armenia.

According to a legend, a mother came to him with her young son who had a fish bone lodged in his throat. At Bishop Blaise's command, the child coughed up the bone.
For decades many Catholics have sought the annual St. Blaise blessing for their throats.
