Aquarians

English to Romanian Other Religion
A name given to several sects in the early Church. The Ebionites, as St. Epiphanies tells us, had a idolatrous veneration for water (aqua), which they regarded as the source of life. The Manichaean sects rejected the use of wine as something evil. The name, however, seems to have been given chiefly to the followers of Tatian, of whom Theodoret speaks as follows: "Tatian, after the death of his master, Justin the Martyr, set himself up as the author of a heresy. Among the things he rejected were marriage, and the use of animal food and wine. Tatian is the father of the Aquarians, and of the Encratites. They are called Hydroparastatae, because they offer water instead of wine [in the Eucharist]; and Encratites because they neither drink wine nor eat animal food.

"Numele este dat de Augustin si Philaster unor grupari sectare care foloseau la Sf. Euharistie apa in loc de vin pentru ratiuni ascetice. Mai tarziu au fost identificati cu maniheii si condamnati ca atare."
