# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Blaise served as both doctor and bishop in Sebastea, in what was then Lesser Armenia. His medical background fused with his ministry, and after his death stories spread of miraculous healings, especially of throat and neck afflictions. In 316 AD he was martyred: beaten, raked with iron combs used for carding wool, then beheaded. The manner of his torture made him patron saint of wool combers; the healing legends made him patron of the throat-sick. He was later counted among the Fourteen Holy Helpers, a group of saints invoked against specific diseases. The Latin Church marks his feast on 3 February, the Eastern Churches on 11 February.
