| Unmercenaries Cosmas & Damian by Sparks |
These brothers from Rome both became doctors. They grew up as Christians and their parents taught them to live piously so they didn't take money for healing people. They are called unmercenaries because mercenaries take money for fighting so these brothers are the opposite, they healed for free. It is said that God granted them with the gift of healing many illnesses as well as leading many people to Christianity with their examples of a strong spiritual path.
