SUMMARY:St. Blaise Blessing of Throats
DESCRIPTION:Blessing of the Throats\nOn February 3, the Feast Day of St. Blaise, the Church recalls a miracle cure associated with him and celebrates the blessing of the throats with candles. St. Blaise said that anyone who lit a candle in his memory would be free of infection, thus candles are used in the traditional throat blessing. The candles (blessed on Candlemas Feb. 2) are crossed against the throat, and the following prayer is said: “Through the intercession of Saint Blaise, bishop and martyr, may God deliver you from ailments of the throat and from every other evil. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.”\n\nBlessing of throats will take place at the end of Mass today.\nMasses at 7:00 AM, 11:30 AM and 5:15 PM.\n
