Readings of the Day
Ss. Cosmas and Damian
Little is known of the lives of this set of twins from Aleppo, Syria. They are honoured throughout the Mediterranean, where they are called the anargyroi, or the money-less ones. They acquired this appellation because they were doctors who healed people without pay. It is known that they healed people in Syria and Arabia, and taught many the Catholico-Orthodox faith (as they taught what has become in the region the modern Orthodox and Byzantine Catholic Churches).
