Happy feast of St. Blaise! We were grateful for that throat blessing since it's been a winter of non-stop colds. After Mass, Blaise requested pancakes- so to Nookies we went. St. Augustine will be our next special saint to celebrate, in August.
As you can see, Blaise does not always have saintly behavior! Blaise's name, however, comes from a saint whose feast day we observe every February. St. Blaise is known for blessing throats, as he once saved a young boy choking on a fish bone. He also is the patron saint of wild animals. Perhaps he can intercede on behalf of our cat? We expect that our Blaise will have lots of spunk, just like the saint he's named after!
