Sts. Cosmas and Damian

Sts. Cosmas and Damian

physicians and martyrs · † c. 287
You received without pay, give without pay.
— Matt 10:8

Twin brothers from Arabia, physicians who treated the sick without asking for payment. In the East they are called the “unmercenaries.” They were beheaded for their faith and are the patrons of doctors and pharmacists. Pray today for those who care for the sick.
