Brothers in flesh and spirit, natives of Asia, of a heathen father and a Christian mother. When their father passed away, their mother Teodotia devoted all her time to raising them in the Christian spirit. They learned the art of medicine and helped the sick for free, not with medicine but with the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. They were so careful that their treatment would be free of charge that Cozma was so angry with Damian that he had taken three eggs from a certain woman Palladia, that he ordered that he not be buried next to his brother. And Damian did not take those eggs as a reward for healing, but Palladia swore him by the Holy Trinity to take them. According to God's revelation, they were still buried together, in the place of Feremanu. Miracle workers both during life and after death.
