Saint Blaise of Amorium (Greek: Βλάσιος ό Άμοριεύς) was a medieval monk from the Byzantine Empire.
He studied in Constantinople and was ordained a deacon at Hagia Sophia.
On a pilgrimage to Rome, he was taken captive and sold to "Scythians" (i.e. Bulgarians) by his travel companion.
[1] He made his way to Rome, where he became a monk for 18 years, during which he became famous for his piety.
He went back to Constantinople to escape his growing reputation of holiness and was welcomed in the Stoudios Monastery, and he later moved to Athos.
