The saint behind the name
Blaise
February 11, Martyr, Βλάσιος
St. Blaise was Bishop of Sebaste in Armenia, a physician of both bodies and souls. During the persecutions of the early fourth century he was seized, and after enduring tortures for his confession of Christ he was beheaded. Tradition tells of his kindness even to wild beasts, and of a boy saved from choking through his prayer.
