Blessing of throats

on Friday 6th February 2026.
Blessing of throats
The blessing of St Blaise is a sign of our faith in God’s protection and love for us and for the sick. Using two crossed and unlighted candles, blessed on the
memorial of St Blaise or on the feast of the Presentation of the Lord, the
minister touches the throat of each
person, saying, ‘Through the
intercession of St Blaise, bishop and martyr, may God deliver you from all ailments of the throat and from every other evil or from every disease of the throat and from every other illness. In the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
