Blásius, Sebáste in Arménia cum virtútum laude floréret, ejúsdem civitátis epíscopus
|
|
elígitur. Qui, quo témpore Diocletiánus insatiábilem crudelitátem in Christiános exercébat,
|
|
se in spelúncam ábdidit montis Argǽi; ubi támdiu látuit, dum ab Agricolái prǽsidis milítibus
|
|
venántibus deprehénsus et ad prǽsidem ductus, ejus jussu conjéctus est in víncula. Quo in
|
|
loco multos ægrótos sanávit, qui ad Blásium, ejus fama sanctitátis addúcti, deferebántur. In
|
|
illis puer fuit, qui, desperáta a médicis salúte, transvérsa spina fáucibus inhærénte,
|
|
ánimam agébat. Prodúctus autem ad prǽsidem Blásius semel et íterum, cum nec blandítiis nec
|
|
minis addúci posset, ut diis sacrificáret, primum virgis cæsus, deínde in equúleo férreis
|
|
pectínibus dilaniátus est; postrémo, dempto cápite, illústre fídei testimónium Christo
|
|
Dómino dedit, tértio Nonas Februárii.

This Blaise was chosen Bishop of the city of Sebaste in Armenia, in which place he enjoyed
|
|
a great reputation for virtue. When Diocletian began to make the Christians the objects of
|
|
his insatiable cruelty, the Saint hid himself in a cave on Mount Argaeus, where he lay till
|
|
he was found by some of the soldiers of Agricolaus the governor, who were out hunting. He
|
|
was brought before the governor, who commanded him to be thrown into irons. While he was in
|
|
prison, Blaise healed many of the sick, who were brought to him on account of his
|
|
reputation of saintliness, and among others a boy who had been despaired of by the
|
|
physicians, and who was at the point of death, from a fish bone which had become fixed in
|
|
his throat. Blaise appeared twice before the governor, but neither cajolements nor threats
|
|
could induce him to sacrifice to the gods. He was first beaten with rods, and afterwards put
|
|
on the rack, where his flesh was mangled with iron combs. At last his head was cut off,
|
|
whereby he finished a noble testimony to the faith which is in Christ our Lord. He bore
|
|
witness on the 3rd day of February.
