Saints

Saints are people who have worked as agents of Chrestus, (i.e. Chrestors) and who have been recognized by society as examples worthy of attention and emulation. Zorochristians recognise three Saints above all as worthy of veneration. These are Zartus, Jesus and Georgius.

The Saintly Trinity

1. Zartus Sophus

Zartus Sophus (Zarathustra the Wise) is the Philosopher Saint - the one who who has knowledge of the cosmos and can discern the best ethical world-view and give to us the best religion. He can also be called Zartus Rectus or Zoroaster the Righteous. Zartus is the foremost teacher of Daena (moral vision).

2. Jesus Chrestus

Jesus Chrestus (Jesus the Good) is the Compassionate Saint - the one who sees our real human nature and needs and gives this the highest value regardless of human-manufactured regulations and understandings which contradict it.

Zartochrestians see Jesus' voluntary suffering on the cross as a sign of his compassion. We don't believe that the historic person of Jesus can be considered a scapegoat for all the sins of the world. Rather his action was a demonstration of how the eternal Chrestus takes on the burden of counteracting the sins of the fallible.

3. Georgius Fortis

Georgius Fortis (George the Brave) is the Brave Saint. He is the one who will fight for the cause of good and right and never desert it whether he has the strength to prevail, or is overcome and put to a torturous death.
