St Blaise (Patron for Ears, Nose and Throat) – Rose Petal Prayer Card

Description

Saint Blaise, also known as Saint Blase, was a bishop of Sebaste in Armenia during the early 4th century. He is celebrated for his piety and his miraculous healings, particularly of throat ailments, which led to his association as the patron saint of throat illnesses. According to tradition, Blaise was imprisoned during a persecution of Christians but continued to serve his congregation through prayer and healing, demonstrating unwavering faith and compassion. His revered reputation for miracles spread widely, and he became a prominent figure in early Christian history, eventually being venerated as a saint.

Saint Blaise’s feast day is traditionally observed on February 3rd. His legacy is commemorated through various customs, including the blessing of throats, where two candles are crossed in the shape of a “X” and blessings are imparted to those suffering from throat maladies. The story of his martyrdom varies, but he is most commonly regarded as a protector against ailments of the throat and respiratory issues. Over centuries, his veneration has persisted across Christianity, especially in Eastern Orthodox, Catholic, and Anglican traditions, symbolizing faith, healing, and protection.
