History of St Evaristus
Si Papa Evaristus ay ang ikalimang papa ng Simbahang Katoliko bilang obispo ng Roma mula c. 99 hanggang sa kanyang kamatayan c. 107. Siya ay kilala rin bilang Aristus at iginagalang bilang isang santo sa Eastern Orthodox Church, sa Catholic Church, at Oriental Orthodoxy. Siya ay madalas na kinakatawan ng isang espada dahil siya ay pinugutan ng ulo, o may isang kuna, dahil ito ay pinaniniwalaan na siya ay ipinanganak sa Bethlehem, kung saan ang kanyang ama ay nangibang-bansa. Ang institusyon ng mga kardinal na pari ay itinuring ng ilan sa kanya, dahil una niyang hinati ang Roma sa ilang mga titulo o parokya, na nagtatalaga ng isang pari sa bawat isa; nagtalaga rin siya ng pitong deacon para dumalo sa bishop. Siya ay inilibing sa Vatican, malapit sa Saint Peter.
