Life
Saint Blaise is commemorated on 22 February (new style, the calendar of the Church of Greece) as a bishop and venerable father, in the list of venerable fathers Athanasius the Confessor, Baradatus, Thalassius and Limnaeus the Merciful. The English calendar calls him simply Blaise the bishop. He is not Saint Blaise of Sebaste, who is remembered on 11 February.
The sources consulted give no other details about the place or time of his shepherding.
