Parentes (Cosmic Parents)

The Parentes or Cosmic Parents are the Cosmic Father and the Cosmic Mother. They are the male and female powers of God as Auramazda which produce the ordered world into which living being can be born and thrive.

The Cosmic Father is imagined by Orthodox Zorochristians in the guise of the Archangel Mithras, and the Cosmic Mother as the Archangel Anhita.
