Today Friday 3rd February, is the day for throat blessing!
Today is the Feast of St. Blase- The patron saint against throat ailments. A good time to obtain the traditional Catholic blessing of one`s throat.
For centuries, it has been a tradition for Catholics to have their throats blessed on the Feast of St. Blaise. It is a long established practice as tradition tells us that St. Blaise, healed a boy who had a fishbone stuck in his throat.
The priest takes two unlit candles and crosses them. He places one on one side of the parishioner's neck and one on the other. And, the priest says this prayer:
"Through the intercession of Saint Blase, Bishop and Martyr, may God deliver you from sickness of the throat and from every other evil. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, + and of the Holy Ghost, Amen”
"Per intercessionem Sancti Blasii, episcopi et martyris, liberet te Deus a malo gutturis,
et a quolibet alio malo. In nomine Patris, et Filii +, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen."
