Xroshtag and Padvaxtag
pair of Manichaean divinities
Xrôshtag and Padvâxtag are two deities in Manichaean religion. They are always shown together and represent the concepts of "call" and "answer."[1][2] The call comes from the "living spirit" above, and the answer comes from the person below who wants to be saved.
