Come celebrate the traditional feast of Saint Biagio with dinner and a video presentation. The 3rd of February is the feast day of Armenian San Biagio (Saint Blaise). He was a hermit who was fed by the animals of a nearby forest and who he, in turn, fed when they were ill. His fame stems from melting a fishbone stuck in a child’s throat and he’s now the patron saint of throat afflictions. He’s more often than not depicted with wild animals in frescos in churches but sometimes as a pair of wool combs as he died rather nastily by these tearing him apart to “earn” his martyrdom.
