Saints Cosma and Damian were twins and early Christian martyrs born in Arabia who practised the art of healing in the seaport of Aegea (modern Ayas) in the Gulf of Issus, then in the Roman province of Syria.
They accepted no payment for their services, which led them to be nicknamed (The Silverless); it is said that by this, they led many to the Christian faith.
