Today, February 3rd, was the feast of St. Blase. He is the patron saint of diseases of the throat. We attended Mass this morning to celebrate his feast day. After Mass, Father stood at the front of church, blessed candles in hand, waiting to bless throats. I quietly whispered to my 6 year old, "Let's go up and get our throats blessed." She gave me a very puzzled look and asked, "Why do we need our coats blessed?"
