Believers received the blessing of St. Blaise on Sunday. The tradition dates to the 16th century.
“Through the intercession of Saint Blaise, bishop and martyr, may God deliver you from every disease of the throat and from every other illness: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”
