Born in Arabia both studied medicine as young men in Syria. They set up practice together in Aegeae in Cilicia. They were extremely proficient. But what marked them off from other doctors at that time was their refusal to charge any fee for their services. They believed that as Christians this was the best form of charity that they could practice. In consequence they are still known throughout Eastern Christendom as Saints Cosmas and Damian the moneyless. Unfortunately the Diocletian persecutions soon began. Lysias, governor of Cilicia, had no hesitation in arresting such distinguished Christians, in spite of their good works. The two men remained steadfast in the faith. Once they had healed the bodies of others; now their own bodies were broken. They were hanged on crosses and the mob threw stones at them. Archers fired arrows into their helpless torsos. Finally they were cut down, still alive, and beheaded. All this took place around the year 303. The corpses of the two doctors were taken to Syria, where they had studied, and buried at Cyrrhus. In later ages many notable sick persons, including the Emperor Justinian I himself, would dream of these two saints when ill, learning various medicine from these visions. After such a vision, Justinian rebuilt a church in their honor in the city of Constantinople. In these ways Cosmas and Damian were revered as patron saints of physicians.

5 Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception Washington D.C. Historical notes On May 13, 1846, twenty-two bishops, meeting in Baltimore petitioned the Holy See to proclaim Mary as Patroness of the United States of America under the title of the Immaculate Conception. In 1914, Bishop Thomas Shahan, rector of the Catholic University of America, with the warm approval of Pope St. Pius X, interested the Catholic hierarchy and people in erecting a shrine honoring Mary as their patroness. On May 23, 1920, the present site for the proposed shrine was blessed and the cornerstone laid on September 23. By 1926 the Crypt Church was completed and services have been held there continuously since Through the continuing efforts of the American hierarchy and the generous cooperation of the faithful of our country, the National Shrine was dedicated on November 20, From then until the present, the interior has been furnished with chapels, mosaics, and statuary that proclaim our faith in Mary s Son. The liturgical life of the church is celebrated at the Shrine in many languages in the Roman and eastern Rites. The spectrum of Christian musical art is heart on Sundays and holydays from the Choir of the National Shrine and the three great organs and carillon. The Upper Church accommodates 2000 worshippers, the Crypt Church, reminiscent of the primitive catacombs, and the many chapels are used for more intimate liturgies. On October 12, 1990, Pope John Paul II named the Shrine a minor Basilica. A public announcement of this event was made at the noonday Mass on December 8, 1990 by James Cardinal Hickey, Archbishop of Washington. Our Year of Faith Diocesan Pilgrimage to Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception is on September 28. We ask all the pilgrims to arrive few min before 6am as we plan to leave promptly at 6. Seats are not assigned and we cannot guarantee that we will accommodate everyone s requests. Please note that meals and beverages are not included. Lunches can be purchased in cafeteria. Bazylika Narodowego Sanktuarium Niepokalanego Poczęcia Washington D.C. Nota historyczna W dniu 13 maja 1846 dwudziestu dwóch biskupów, zebranych w Baltimore zwróciło się do Stolicy Apostolskiej, aby ogłosić Maryję jako Patronkę Stanów Zjednoczonych Ameryki z tytułem Niepokalanego Poczęcia. W 1914 roku biskup Thomas Shahan, rektor Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Ameryki, za zgodą papieża Piusa X, zainteresował katolicką hierarchię i ludzi w wzniesieniu Świątyni ku czci Maryji jako ich patronki. W dniu 23 maja 1920r. obecne miejsce proponowanego wówczas sanktuarium zostało pobłogosławione a 23 września wkopano kamień węgielny pod jego budowę. Poprzez ciągłe starania amerykańskiej hierarchii i wielkodusznej współpracy wiernych naszego kraju, Narodowe Sanktuarium zostało poświęcone w dniu 20 listopada 1959 roku. Od tego czasu aż do chwili obecnej, wnętrze zostało wyposażone w kaplice, mozaiki, i posągi, które głoszą naszą wiarę w Syna Maryi. Życie liturgiczne Kościoła jest obchodzone w Sanktuarium w wielu językach w rzymskich i wschodnich obrzędach. Górna część Kościóła może pomieścić 2000 wiernych. Krypty kościoła przypominające prymitywne katakumby oraz liczne kaplice są używane do bardziej kameralnych liturgii. W dniu 12 października 1990 roku papież Jan Paweł II ogłosił Sanktuarium Bazyliką Mniejszą. Publiczne ogłoszenie tego wydarzenia odbyło się podczas południowej Mszy w dniu 8 grudnia 1990 roku przez Kardynała Jamesa Hickey, Arcybiskupa Waszyngtonu. Nasza Diecezjalna Pielgrzymka do Bazyliki Narodowego Sanktuarium Niepokalanego Poczęcia odbędzie się 28 września. Prosimy wszystkich pielgrzymów o przyjazd kilka minut przed 6 rano. Planujemy wyjechać punktualnie o 6. Miejsca nie są przypisane i nie możemy zagwarantować, że spełnimy wszystkie żądania dotyczące miejsc. Należy pamiętać, że posiłki i napoje nie są wliczone w cenę. Lunch będzie można kupić w kawiarni w Waszyngtonie.
