INTRODUCTION
It is said that around 2000 years ago a person named "Jesus" came from Nazareth (now
known as Israel) is known as the founder of the aforementioned religion. It is one of the
monotheistic religions and the Abrahamic religion. It is the branch of the second Judaic sect
because it’s founder Jesus Christ was a Jew. It has its roots in the Roman province of Judea in
the 1st century. The followers of Christianity are called Christians. About 2,000 years ago a
person named Jesus came from the town of Nazareth which is now called Israel is the founder
of this religion.


Jesus Christ was the preacher and he spread the teachings of God among the people and many
became his followers. He had many miracles like healing the sick people, controlling the
weather, and multiplying food. He had 12 apostles, whom he has transferred his knowledge
before his resurrection. They wrote the Holy book Bible in which they explained the
teachings of Jesus Christ and the four Gospels also included in the sacred text. Jesus Christ
with his 12 disciples continued preaching and then he was arrested and executed by the
Roman Governor. But the followers of Jesus Christ believe that God has raised Christ after
his crucifixion and his resurrection saved all the Christians from the punishment of their sins.
After the resurrection , Christ started his life as Lord and he will come back again.


After the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, Christianity separated from Judaism. Then further
developments came in Christianity and it continued to spread. Now it is the world's largest
religion with 2.4 billion followers and four major branches including the Catholic Church,
Protestantism, Eastern Orthodox Church, and Oriental Orthodoxy
