St. Blaise, the patron saint of sore throats, was a physician and a healer of men and animals. He lived in a cave. According to legend, sick animals would come to him on their own for help, but would never disturb him at prayer.

Agricola, governor of Cappadocia, came to persecute Christians. His huntsmen went into the forests to find wild animals for the arena games, and found many lined up outside Blaise's cave. Discovered in prayer, Blaise was arrested. While in prison, Blaise healed fellow prisoners, most famously including saving a child who was choking on a fish bone; this led to the blessing of throats on Blaise's feast day, Feb 3rd.

Thrown into a lake to drown, Blaise stood on the surface and invited his persecutors to walk out and get him. They drowned. When he returned to land, he was martyred by being beaten, his flesh torn with wool combs (which led to his association with and patronage of those involved in the wool trade), and then beheaded. He should have just stayed out there.

St. Blaise is the patron saint of coughs and colds, sore throats and sick animals. He is also the patron of wool gatherers, sheep farmers and shearers and wool weavers.

St. Blaise on green ball chain measuresa 24".

I love my new St. Blaise pendant & chain! The seller contacted me immediately to let me know they were currently out of this particular item and that they would refund my order. I opted to wait for them to get more in, which wasn't long. It's exactly as pictured and the service was great. Thank you
