Saint Blaise oval medal that depicts the saint on the front and “Pray For Us” on the back. This detailed die-cast medal is made in the region of Italy that produces the finest quality medals in the world.
St. Blaise is the patron saint of throat illness, sick cattle, animals, wool combers, and wool trading; invoked against animal attacks and throat disease.
During his lifetime, St Blaise was best known for the miraculous healing of a child who was choking to death on a fishbone, hence his other role as the patron saint of sore throats. To this day on his feast (which occurs at the height of flu season) crossed candles are applied to the throats of the faithful in Catholic churches. Feast day: February 3rd.
