San Biagio it is venerated in both East and West, and his party has spread the rite of blessing of the throat, with the rest two crossed candles and invoking its intercession. The act is linked to the tradition that the Bishop Biagio would miraculously freed a child from a thorn or bone lodged in his throat.
was Bishop of Sebaste in Armenia in the community in the Roman Empire when it grants the freedom of worship for Christians. S. Biagio died a martyr about the year 316, ie after the end of the persecutions. Why? There is no way to light. The fact appears to be due to the conflict broke out between the two emperors-in-law and continued fighting until Constantine will strangle Licinio. The conflict causes some persecution in the East with local destruction of churches, Christian convictions for forced labor, murder of bishops.
For S. Biagio the traditional stories are full of miraculous events, but at the same time uncontrollable. The body of S. Biagio was laid in the cathedral of Sebaste, but in 732 a part of the remains is loaded by some Armenian Christians to Rome. A sudden storm cut off but their trip to Maratea (Potenza): and here the faithful receive the relics of the saint in a church, which later became the present church, on the height now called Monte San Biagio. Her cult can also be found in France, Spain, Switzerland and America ... He has come a long street, the Armenian bishop whose life we \u200b\u200bknow so little!
