About
St. Cosmas and St. Damian were twin brothers and early Christian martyrs known for their work as physicians. They provided free medical care, earning the title of "unmercenary" saints. Their practice was marked by miraculous healings, which they performed in the name of Christ. During the persecution under Emperor Diocletian, they were martyred for their unwavering faith. Their legacy endures as symbols of charity, compassion, and the integration of faith and medicine.
