An equal-to-the-apostles (, ''isapóstolos''; (ラテン語:aequalis apostolis); (グルジア語:მოციქულთასწორი), ''motsikultastsori''; (ルーマニア語、モルドバ語():întocmai cu Apostolii); (ロシア語:равноапостольный), ''ravnoapostol'nyj''; Bulgarian and Serbian: , ''ravnoapostolni'') is a special title given to some saints in Eastern Orthodoxy. It is also used by Eastern Rite Catholic Churches that are in communion with Rome.
