Œuvres de miséricordevignette|Les sept œuvres de miséricorde, par Frans II Francken, 1605. Les œuvres de miséricorde (Du latin « misereo » (avoir pitié) et « cor » (cœur)) sont les actions bienfaisantes que chaque chrétien doit accomplir par amour pour son prochain en s'efforçant de diminuer ses misères. On distingue quatorze œuvres de miséricorde : sept qui relèvent du corps et sept qui relèvent de l'esprit (Temporel et spirituel).
SaoshyantSaoshyant (Avestan: 𐬯𐬀𐬊𐬳𐬌𐬌𐬀𐬧𐬝 saoš́iiaṇt̰) is the Avestan language expression that literally means "one who brings benefit", and which is used in several different ways in Zoroastrian scripture and tradition. In particular, the expression is the proper name of the Saoshyant, an eschatological saviour figure who brings about Frashokereti, the final renovation of the world in which evil is finally destroyed. The term was contracted to "Soshans" in Zoroastrian tradition, and came to apply to three saviour figures that progressively bring about the final renovation.
