Today is the feast day of the early martyrs St. Cosmas and Damian. They were twin brothers born in Arabia in the middle of the 3rd century. They were healers or physicians and refused to accept any pay for their services. They converted numerous people to Christianity by their loving and generous service. During the persecution of Diocletian. They were arrested ordered to be tortured until they recanted their belief in Jesus. Miraculously they showed no sign of injury despite the many methods of torture that was done to them. In the end the prefect finally decided to behead them with a sword. St. Cosmas and Damian are patron saints of physicians and surgeons. St. Cosmas and Damian, pray for us. ............................................................................................................................................................ Hoy es el día de la fiesta de los primeros mártires San Cosme y Damián. Eran hermanos gemelos nacidos en Arabia a mediados del siglo III. Eran curanderos o médicos y se negaban a aceptar pago alguno por sus servicios. Convirtieron a numerosas personas al cristianismo con su servicio amoroso y generoso. Durante la persecución de Diocleciano. Fueron arrestados y ordenados ser torturados hasta que se retractaron de su fe en Jesús. Milagrosamente, no mostraron signos de heridas a pesar de los muchos métodos de tortura que se les aplicaron. Al final, el prefecto finalmente decidió decapitarlos con una espada. San Cosme y Damián son los santos patrones de los médicos y cirujanos. San Cosme y Damián, ruegan por nosotros.
