St. Blaise Wool Scarf

Luxurious Warmth: Crafted from 100% ultra-soft wool, this scarf combines luxurious comfort with practical warmth. Its rich texture provides a cozy embrace, perfect for the chill of winter, while also symbolizing the resilience and consolation that St. Blaise represents.

Symbolic Design:

• Dark Red Roses: Representing St. Blaise’s martyrdom, these roses remind us of his courageous witness and sacrifice.

• White Roses: Symbolizing his innocence, these flowers also highlight purity and virtue.

• Calla Lilies: Evoking virtuous masculinity akin to St. Joseph, these lilies are depicted with an inner glow, reminiscent of the solemn beauty of a candle.

• Candles:  St. Blaise’s feast day is known for the blessing of throats in which the priest takes two blessed beeswax candles and holds them in a cross over the throat of the believer being blessed. 

• Choice of Wool: St. Blaise was martyred with the use of sharp metal combs, used to tease apart wool fibers before spinning them into a continuous strand for weaving. He has since been named the patron saint of wool combers.

• Spiritual Reflection: The scarf’s design incorporates a subtle, soft glow behind each flower, reflecting the significance of candles in the liturgy. As described by Guardini in Sacred Signs, a candle represents selfless generosity and steadfast readiness to serve. This imagery invites us to embrace a spirit of unwavering faith and service, mirroring St. Blaise’s commitment and enduring witness.

A Keepsake of Faith and Comfort: Wear this scarf as a reminder of the protective blessing of St. Blaise and the enduring light of faith. May it encourage you to persevere through illness, challenges, and joys, offering warmth and solace in every season of life.
