Life and teachings[edit | edit source]
Jesus was born in Bethlehem to Mary, a virgin, by a miracle of the Holy Spirit. He was raised in Nazareth by Mary and her husband Joseph, a carpenter. Jesus began his public ministry around the age of 30, preaching a message of love, forgiveness, and adherence to God's commandments. He performed many miracles, including healing the sick, raising the dead, and turning water into wine.
Crucifixion and resurrection[edit | edit source]
Jesus was arrested by the Roman authorities and crucified on a cross. Christians believe that he rose from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion, an event known as the Resurrection. After appearing to his disciples and others over a period of 40 days, he ascended to heaven.
Impact and legacy[edit | edit source]
The teachings and life of Jesus form the basis for Christianity, the world's largest religion. His message of love and forgiveness has had a profound impact on the world, influencing art, culture, philosophy, law, and ethics.
