persecution of Christians began. St. Blaise received a message from God to leave his village and go to the mountains to escape persecution, which he did.One day, men hunting in the mountains found St. Blaise surrounded by sick animals. St. Blaise walked among them and cured the animals of their illnesses. The men recognized St. Blaise and captured him to take back to the village to stand trial. On the way back he witnessed a wolf with a pig in its mouth, which belonged to peasant woman. St. Blaise asked the wolf to release the pig and the wolf did at the request of St. Blaise. When St. Blaise was sentenced to be starved to death, the woman in gratitude, sneaked into prison with food and candles for St. Blaise. While in prison he helped sick prisoners and saved a child who was choking on a fish bone. Saint Blaise refused to renounce his faith and was killed by the governor. St. Blaise is the patron saint of wild animals because of his care for them and of those with throat maladies.
