Saint Blaise was the bishop of Sebastea and a doctor. The first known record of the saint’s life comes from the medical writings of Aëtius Amidenus, where he is recorded as helping with patients suffering from objects stuck in their throat. Many of the miraculous aspects of St. Blaise’s life are written of 400 years after his martyrdom in the “Acts of St. Blaise.”
About St. Blaise
Very little is known for certain about the early life of St. Blaise. The earliest accounts of him come from medical writings of a court physician named Aëtius Amidenus, from the end of the fifth or the beginning of the sixth century. These writings call on St. Blaise’s aid in treating patients who have objects stuck in their throats.
Another work, called the Acts of St. Blaise, was written four hundred years later. This work gives further legendary details of St. Blaise’s life and death.
It is believed that St. Blaise was a physician who eventually turned his healing work toward the healing of souls. After some time in this work, Blaise retired to a life of solitary prayer in a cave.
St. Blaise also served as the bishop of Sebastea, the city in which he was born. When he was chosen to succeed the city’s deceased bishop, the people of the city were very pleased.
In his role as bishop, he led his people to holiness through preaching and a deeply virtuous personal example. People came to St. Blaise to seek healing, in both physical and spiritual ailments, from far away.
St. Blaise performed many miracles of healing. Legend says that even wild animals came to him of their own accord to seek healing from him.
In the year 316, a man named Agricola who was the governor of Cappadocia and of Lesser Armenia, arrived in Sebastea. The emperor, Licinius, had ordered this man to kill all the Christians in the city. So Agricola arrested the Bishop, St. Blaise.
As Blaise was being led to his place of imprisonment, a mother brought him her only son who was choking to death on a fish bone that was lodged in the child’s throat. St. Blaise cured this child completely.
Another legend says that, as St. Blaise was being led to prison, a poor woman told him that her pig had been stolen by a wolf. St. Blaise ordered the wolf to return the pig, and the wolf gave the pig back, alive and unharmed. When St. Blaise reached his prison, this woman brought him two fine candles to brighten the darkness of his cell.
Agricola was amazed to see Blaise perform these miracles, but he still attempted to make St. Blaise renounce his Faith. When St. Blaise refused to renounce his Faith, Agricola beat him with a stick and tore his flesh with iron combs. When these tortures did not move St. Blaise to renounce his Faith, Agricola had him beheaded.
St. Blaise’s Feast Day: February 3rd
