• Cosmas and Damian were born in the 3rd century A.D • They studied science in Syria and became well known for their
skills in medicine. Both of them became doctors and they practiced this profession in Cilicia in seaports of Ayas and Adana, located on the southern coast of Turkey
• They practiced medicine without accepting fees from their patients, called anargyrci "the silverless" or "the unmercenaries"
• The brothers lived during the time of the Roman emperor Diocletian (283-305), one of the most vicious persecutors of Christians
• In this time period, Lysias, the governor of Egea, was under strict orders from Diocletian to neutralize the Christians.
• After their death they performed miracles, counting among the most famous ones the presence of a camel in their funeral to tell the people how they were supposed to be buried, or the transplant of a leg.
• Over 48 miracles were credited to the twins, including, amongst others, the development of remedies against plague, scabs, scurvy, kidney stones and bed-wetting.

• The oldest testimony to the veneration of Saints Cosmas and Damian relates to the basilica built in their honour at Cyrrhus, north of Antioch in Syria
• Their veneration spread rapidly throughout the Empire; in the East, where the famous Cosmidion was founded at Constantinople in 439

• When Emperor Justinian I (reigned 527-565) of Constantinople suffered gravely from an illness, he called upon the saints for a cure. His prayers were answered so quickly that he vowed to build a church in their honor. He had their relics removed from Syria, where they had been buried, to Constantinople where he built a cathedral for them. The church soon became a place of pilgrimage.

Basilica of Saints Cosmas and Damian
Rome• Santi Cosma e Damiano was the first church to be founded in the Forum. In 527, Pope Felix IV (526-30) converted a rectangular apsed hall in the Forum of Peace into a church by the simple addition of an apse mosaic.
• Claudius Galen lectured in the Library of the Temple of Peace ("Bibliotheca Pacis").
• The mosaics are masterpieces of 6th- and 7th-century art. In the middle is Christ, with Saint Peter presenting Saint Cosmas and Saint Theodorus (right), and Saint Paul presenting Saint Damian and Pope Felix IV; the latter holds a model of the church.

West• From the sixth century, the saints have been
remembered in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. In the First Eucharistic Prayer the priest reads the names of those whom “we venerate,” first listing the apostles, then five Popes: Linus, Cletus, Clement, Sixtus, and Cornelius. Next Cyprian, the bishop of Carthage, is listed, followed by Lawrence, a deacon, and then five laymen: Chrysogonus, John and Paul, Cosmas and Damian.
