Short Biography:
Sts. Cosmas and Damian were twin brothers and physicians in 3rd-century Syria who became famous for healing the sick without accepting payment, earning them the title Anargyroi ("the silverless ones"). Their selfless medical work was not only physical but spiritual—they treated both body and soul in the name of Christ.

During the Diocletian persecution, they were arrested for their faith and endured torture with miraculous endurance. Ultimately, they were martyred and venerated as patron saints of physicians, pharmacists, and surgeons. Their legacy endured through centuries of devotion, with churches and hospitals named in their honor across the world.
