Saint of the day and spiritual life #Arménie

Born around 950 in the Kingdom of Armenia, Saint Gregory of Narek is a major figure in Armenian Christian spirituality. A theologian, monk, poet and mystic of the 10th century, he was recognized as a Doctor of the Church by Pope Francis in 2015.

Saint Blaise, bishop and martyr, is a very famous Christian saint, especially because he is the protector of throat diseases. He lived a long time ago, in the 4th century, in Armenia, in the city of Sebaste (today Turkey). He was born at a time when being a Christian was very dangerous, because the Roman emperors persecuted those who believed in Jesus.
