    Kosmas and Damian (Asian)

    November 1, Saint, Κοσμάς και Δαμιανός

    Saints Kosmas and Damian of Asia Minor were brothers and physicians, raised in the faith by their pious mother Theodota. They treated the sick without ever accepting payment, asking only that those they healed believe in Christ, and for this the Church calls them Unmercenaries. They reposed in peace after lives given wholly to God and neighbor.
