According to the article, the start of Christianity traces back to the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus over "2000 years ago in Palestine.". Jesus is believed to be born into a peasant Jewish family by his mother Mary.. His father was believed to be "the Holy Spirit of God". Jesus "healed the sick... and preached sermons that taught what God wanted people to do- to love God with all their hearts and love their neighbors as themselves.". Jesus spread the word of Christianity and built up a loyal following, led by his twelve disciples. Two of Jesus' followers ended up in Rome where they spread the teachings of Jesus furthermore. Due to his bad relations with the Roman religious and political leaders, the Roman leaders "sentenced Jesus to death and had him crucified.". Later his followers found that his tomb was "empty and discovered that he had been raised from the dead.". The birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus greatly impacted the growth of the religion positively and boosted the integrity of Christianity's believers. Christians believed that all of these actions were done because of how much God loved them. After the death of Jesus Christianity continued its growth steadily and overtook Rome and continued to what it has become today.
