September 14 is observed as the Feast of Saints Cosmas and Damian, twin brothers known as unmercenary healers who offered medical care without payment. The date is significant in Belarusian Orthodox tradition.
- Kuzma – The Belarusian and Slavic form of Cosmas, derived from the Greek Kosmas, meaning order or harmony. It honors Saint Cosmas, one of the twin physician saints.
- Damian – From the Greek Damianos, meaning to tame or to subdue. It honors Saint Damian, the brother of Cosmas, and symbolizes compassion, healing, and service to others.
