EMERGENCE OF CHRISTIANITY
INFLUENCE OF CHRISTIANITY
The way we handle the calendar allows us to understand the great influence that Christianity has had on the culture, although there are other calendars. This cultural influence is due to the fact that Christianity has been practically the only religion in Europe, as well as in many countries of the Mediterranean and the Middle East and it arrived with the conquerors in America
In turn, the Church exercised great political influence. Therefore, kings, armies, and peoples declared themselves Christians.
ORIGIN OF CHRISTIANITY
In Palestine Jesus of Nazareth was born, a central figure of Christianity, among the townspeople, he chose twelve apostles to follow him and continue his work.
CHRISTIANITY OUTSIDE JUDEA
The group of followers continued to meet, under the direction of the apostles. The Apostle Pablo undertook missionary journeys through Asia Minor, Greece and Rome.
PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS
Emperor Nero unleashed persecution. • He threw Christians to lions at Roman circus performances. In addition, he killed others with torture and eventually accused the Christians of setting the great fire of Rome.
NERON'S ROME BURNS
The great fire of Rome breaks out and destroys much of the city on this day in 64 AD.
DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST
The hierarchs of Judaism saw in Jesus a threat to their power from him and conspired to have the Roman governor condemn him to death. He was crucified.
SURVIVAL OF CHRISTIANITY
The Christians of Rome chose to lead a hidden life and met in small underground temples. This lasted for approximately 3 centuries.
LEGALIZATION OF CHRISTIANISM
For three centuries, Christianity survived and grew in obscurity. This reality was recognized by the Roman Emperor Constantine, who ruled over an ever-expanding empire that he called Constantinople. At age 40 he converted to Christianity and issued the Beredict of Milan that allowed the free practice of the Christian religion without punishing his followers. He supported Church initiatives such as the Council of Nicea and the construction of basilicas.
This was crucial to the spread of Christianity. It ceased to be just a religion of the poor, practiced in secret and facing the danger of death, to be gradually adopted by the ruling classes. In addition, it became the official religion of the Roman Empire by the edict of Emperor Theodosius.
