EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "St. Blaise curing a sick child" captures a powerful moment of healing and faith. Created by Jacques Stella in the 17th century, this print showcases the remarkable story of St. Blaise, the Bishop of Sebaste. In this scene, we witness St. Blaise's miraculous ability to cure ailments as he saves a child choking on a fish bone while imprisoned. The intensity in his eyes reflects his unwavering determination to heal and bring comfort to those in need. The significance of this event led to the tradition of blessing throats on St. Blaise's feast day, symbolizing his ability to heal throat-related illnesses and injuries. This engraving beautifully portrays both the spiritual and medical aspects associated with St. Blaise. Stella's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, from the intricate patterns adorning St. Blaise's mitre and crozier to the delicate expression on the child's face as they are saved from harm. As we gaze upon this masterpiece from Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, we are reminded not only of St. Blaise's role as a healer but also his enduring legacy as an icon for hope and compassion within medicine. This coloured engraving serves as a timeless reminder that even during times of darkness or imprisonment, miracles can occur through faith and selfless acts of kindness.
