Christianity
 

The origins of Christianity are typically traced to Jesus Of Nazareth.  Who was born around 4BCE and lived and taught for thirty three years in an area of Israel called Galilee. But, there are some people who believe it was actually the Apostle Paul who started the faith tradition we have today through his development and organization of the Church.

Jesus' ministry began when he was thirty years old. Christians believe the Old Testament was about Jesus' birth, life and his death. They believe he was the Messiah the Old Testament writers explained it.

Jesus was a Jew. His first disciples followed him, believing him to be the Messiah that they heard about in the Old Testament who they thought would liberate Jews from Roman rule. Instead, Jesus changed their understanding of what the Messiah's role would be. Instead of anger and aggression  Jesus taught people to love their enemies and treat others as they would want to be treated themselves.

Jesus was put to death by the Romans at the age of thirty three. Christians believe this was a sacrifice for the sins of the world. 

This is the biggest symbol in Christianity. He goes by many names, but the most common is Jesus. Jesus was born in a stable in Bethlehem. His mothers name was Mary, and his Fathers Joseph. Three disciples came to him to give him offerings.
