The twin brothers Saint Cosmas and Damian (martyred ca. 287) were physicians and early Catholic martyrs born in Cilicia, part of today’s Turkey. They practiced medicine for free as an act of Christian charity. Their medical ministries led to many conversions to the Catholic Faith.
They were made famous by a miraculous operation in which they transplanted an Ethiopian’s leg onto a white man’s body. This miracle is often celebrated in Catholic art depicting the twin saints.
