Saint of the day and spiritual life #Turquie

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.

John was the son of Zebedee, a fisherman from Galilee, and Salome. He was the brother of James the Greater, also an apostle. Together they were called “sons of thunder” by Jesus. John was among the first disciples called by Jesus while he was fishing on the Sea of Tiberias.
