Memorial of St. Blaise: Blessing of Throats

Saint Blaise was a fourth century bishop in Armenia. We don't know much about his life, but we know by tradition that he saved a small boy from choking on a fish bone. Because of this, people through the ages have sought his help, especially those who are afflicted with ailments of the throat. On February 3, the feast of Saint Blaise, the church continues its ministry to the sick through the blessing of throats. Stop by the Newman Center table in the Campbell Student Union lobby from 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. today for a "free" throat blessing.
