It began the year Jesus was believed to have been born, in the year 1 A.D. (Anno Domini, Latin for "in the year of our Lord") Every year before that was called B.C. (Before Christ), right up to the year 1 B.C. There was no year zero, which is why the current millennium started in the year 2001 (and not 2000). Some non-Christian groups prefer to use the terms C.E. (Common Era) and B.C.E. (Before the Common Era) instead, rather than A.D. and B.C. Ironically, the most recent research seems to indicate that Jesus may actually have been born a few years earlier than was originally believed, in the year 4 B.C.
