Saint Blaise Bishop, Healer, Martyr and his courageous life

We trace the courageous life of Saint Blaise from healer to bishop to martyr, then follow the legend of the miraculous throat blessing into today’s liturgy and parish life. Symbols, relics, hymns, and the official prayer reveal how this tradition forms witness and hope.
