On June 28 the Church commemorates the translation of the relics of the Holy Unmercenaries Cyrus and John. Cyrus was a physician of Alexandria who healed in the name of Christ without payment, and John a soldier who joined him; together they strengthened the confessors during the persecution of Diocletian and were beheaded for the faith at the beginning of the fourth century.
