Who was Saints Cosmas and Damian?
According to Christian traditions, Saints Cosmas and Damian were twin brothers, physicians, and early Christian martyrs born in Cilicia, part of today's Turkey. They practiced their profession in the seaport of Ayas, Adana, then in the Roman province of Syria. Accepting no payment for their services led to them being named "Ανάργυροι"; it has been said that, by this, they attracted many to the Christian faith.
