Finding the Holy Relics of Agioi Anargyri Cyrus and Ioannis
They both fought in the years of Diocletian (292 AD).
Cyrus came from Alexandria and John from Edessa. Excellently trained in medical science, they offered their services to their poorest fellow humans. And not only did they not get money from anyone, but they themselves gave their own, until they were poor. That is why they were called Anargyri.
Together with the medical help they offered to the sufferers, they transmitted to them the saving truth of the Gospel. Their words gave Christ the light to many pagans.
But their action was reported to the authorities, so they beheaded and worthy of taking the wreath of the martyrdom. At that time, the Christians buried them secretly, and when the emperor was Arcadian and Archbishop of Alexandria, Theophilus (400 AD), their holy relics were found and festively became their recovery. Many, in fact, patients who touched them were healed.
Thus, it is confirmed that the “righteous to the living, and the Lord of it”. That is, the righteous, that is, live eternal, and the reward that deserves them is in the hands of the Lord.
