Greatness

We magnify you,/ wonderworkers of glory, Cosmos and Damian,/ and we honor your holy memory,/ teachers of the lost, healers of the sick,/ and interlocutors with the Angel.

Healers of souls and bodies

Healing human souls and bodies is God’s work. That is why so many miracles of the Lord are known from the Gospels. That is why there are so many holy doctors who fulfilled what He said:

“Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons; Freely you have received, freely give” (Matthew 10:8).

Church tradition knows three pairs of brothers named Cosmas and Damian. All of them are doctors who added a prayer to Christ to earthly medicines, and therefore, by the power of God, healed many suffering people. In addition, these saints of God were almost contemporaries: their life, feat, and death date back to the end of the 3rd or beginning of the 4th century.

Asian brothers

Asian healing brothers lived in Asia Minor. They are known for many healings, and also for the fact that they strictly enforced lack of silver. They say that one woman, literally raised by them from her deathbed, asked them for a long time to accept payment, but, despairing of begging unpaid doctors, she brought St. Damian has three eggs “in the Name of the Holy Trinity.” For the sake of this Name, the saint took a gift, for which he was reprimanded by his brother, Cosmas. He didn’t even order Damian to be buried next to him.

But after the peaceful death of both saints, they were still buried together for the sake of a miracle. The camel they had once healed of rabies, by the power of God, said that Damian took the alms for the sake of God, and not for profit.

Roman healers

Roman healers-ascetics under Emperor Karin (late 3rd century) brought the inhabitants of the “Eternal City” to Christ with many healings and preaching. The saints were captured and put on trial. It was on it that the brothers said the words that make up their life credo:

“We have not harmed anyone, we do not practice magic and sorcery, which is what you accuse us of. We heal illnesses with the power of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and do not take any remuneration for helping the sick.”

Amazed by the miracles of the saints, Emperor Karin released them. But the saints still died as martyrs: their own teacher killed them when he was instructing his brothers in medicine. The reason for the action was envy.

Arabian martyrs

Finally, the Arabian Cosmas and Damian suffered not alone, but with 3 other martyrs. Their names are Leontius, Eutropius, Anthimus. They tried to drown them all and set them on fire, but each time the Lord saved the lives of His saints. Then the Romans hanged Christians on a tree and began throwing stones and arrows. But they only wounded the tormentors themselves. The lives of the saints say that, embittered by the invulnerability of the saints, the soldiers cut off their heads.
