Christianity in Varshan has been present since Aster's expedition exposed Crona to the Occident in the late 14th century.
It is estimated that Christianity is the fastest growing religion in Varshan.
Terminology
In Varshan, Christianity has two types of names. The most commonly used term historically was a pejorative, "Mejada'felta", a term that can be broadly translated as "followers of the Death God's victim". This term is understood to mock the crucifixion of Jesus as an incident making him subordinate to the chief deity of Orthodox Arzalism. This term was used in most official contexts between Aster's expedition and the Fall of Anzo. Varshani Christians, as well as some others in limited circumstances, instead use two related names: "Kriziztan", a literal reuse of the word "Christian", and "Husen'zelta", which means "followers of the Anointed".
In most instances, the term "Mejada'felta" has been regulated as hate speech in League-occupied Varshan with the exception of the Daxian occupied Zanoma Regional Administration, where it remains the preferred terminology.
