St. Blaise: his feast falls on 3rd February

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. While he was dragged off to prison, a mother came with her young son who had fish bone lodged in his throat. At 'St.Blaise's command the child was able to cough up the bone. St. Blaise knew what it was to suffer for Jesus name and he became a martyr in 316 AD.
