medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Jim,
I know Wikipedia is hardly the last word on anything, but this little blurb
(and others) states that both saints are patrons of apothecaries and various
practitioners of the healing arts, so why various hôtels-Dieu would omit
Damian is a mystery to me:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sts._Cosmas_and_Damian
The blurb also discusses various places where their relics are located. Do
with the info what you will.
Best, MG
