St.Blaise:
St. Blaise
was a bishop in Sebastea in what is now called Armenia
when Roman Imperial soldiers began to persecute the Christians 311 AD. So he
had to flee for his life and lived in a cave in the mountains. But eventually
he was discovered and captured and while he was dragged off to prison, a mother
came with her young son who had fish bone lodged in his throat. At Blaise's command the child was able to cough up the bone.
St. Blaise was beaten first then suspended from a
tree and his skin was torn off him with iron combs and finally he was beheaded. St. Blaise knew what it was to suffer for Jesus name and he
became a martyr in 316 AD.
Recent death: Please remember in
