The blessing of St. Blaise is a ceremony that is often performed on his feast day (February 3). In the ritual two candles are consecrated and crossed before the congregation, or a wick consecrated in oil is touched to the throats of the faithful. The blessing may be administered by a priest, deacon, or lay minister.
