This Saints Cosmas and Damian prayer candle honors the physician brothers remembered as the Unmercenaries, healers who treated the sick without payment. It is a meaningful Catholic and Orthodox gift for doctors, nurses, and pharmacists.
About Saints Cosmas and Damian. Tradition describes Cosmas and Damian as twin brothers born in Arabia who practiced medicine and surgery without charging a fee, which is why the Greek Church calls them anargyroi, the "silverless" ones. They worked at Aegeae in Cilicia, and tradition says they were martyred under Emperor Diocletian, around 287 or 303. Most details of their lives come from tradition, and the cures attributed to them are traditional accounts.
They are patrons of physicians, surgeons, pharmacists, and dentists.
Choose this candle for a physician, a nurse, a pharmacist, a medical or pharmacy student, or someone praying for healing for a loved one.
