The term BC is short for "Before Christ."Historical dates before the birth of Christ become smaller as they approach the theoretical but non-existent Year Zero.The term AD is short for "Anno Domini" (Latin "year of our Lord").Historical dates after the birth of Christ are classified as AD. (Contrary to popular belief, AD does not stand for After Death.) The BC/AD system for identifying historical dates has been in continuous use since the earliest part of the Middle Ages, along with the separate Hebrew and Islamic (Hijri) calendar years.AD refers to years that are after Christ was born. BC refers to years that occurred before Christ. BC is also known as BCE, which stands for Before the Common Era, as Before Christ (BC) has religious implications.i.e. 2008 AD would be 2,008 years after Christ was born.AD means after Jesus was born and BC means befiore he was born
