Their cult originally disseminated from their burial shrine at Cyr,
north of Antioch, I believe. One thing that has been puzzling me lately
is that the Hotels-Dieu in both Paris and Chartres were dedicated to St
Cosmas, but Damian appears to have got left out. It makes sense for
such an institution to be dedicated to doctor saints, but does anyone
have any suggestions as to why both saints were not included in these
dedications, as was usual?
Cheers,
Jim
