Begins With Death...

The crucifixion is the execution of a person by nailing or binding them to a cross and was a popular method of killing enforced by Roman leaders in the ancient world. What started Christianity was the crucifixion or the death of Jesus Christ, the Messiah -savoir- . Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem on a Friday and on or near Passover by the Roman Empire because he was a threat for a rebellion since many lowered class people followed him and believed that he was their savior. It is believed that after his death Jesus went down to Hell to free the souls of the people who had died before his coming. On Sunday -after three days- he came back to life and left the tomb where he was buried, this is called the resurrection. Mary Magdalene was the first one to see him and she told it to the Apostles-followers of Jesus-. Apostles claimed that he appeared to them for 40 days and after that he ascended to heaven. Jesus informed his followers that who identifies him as the savior and son of God will reach salvation, reconciled with God for eternity. With those words and messages from Jesus Christianity started and then spread over the Empire.
