Unmercenary Saints Zenaida and Philonella

November 02, 2020

We remember the unmercenary saints in the proskomedia—Cosmas and Damian, especially, whom we commemorate this weekend—but I would draw your attention to the earliest of the unmercenaries, the sisters Zenaida and Philonella. There are lessons for us here. Please listen in for what we can learn from these wonderful unmercenary saints who practiced medicine in Thessaly in the first century.
