Translated from the Greek

A volume of The Great Synaxaristes of the Orthodox Church

“Kosmas and Damian, the siblings and holy martyrs, known as the holy unmercenaries (anargyroi), were from Asia. They were the sons of a certain pious woman named Theodote. They were skilled in the medical arts but received their gift of healing from Christ. They ministered free of charge to their patients, fulfilling the Gospel command: ‘Freely ye received, freely give [Mt. 10:8].’ The holy Church also commemorates two other sets of holy unmercenaries, who share the names of Kosmas and Damian.”
—“On the 1^st of November, the holy Church commemorates the holy and wonderworking Unmercenaries KOSMAS and DAMIAN of Asia.”
