Christianity began in the 1st century AD, with its roots in the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified around AD 30-33. The movement initially emerged within a Jewish context but rapidly spread throughout the Roman Empire. The term "Christian" was first used in Antioch around AD 40 to describe the followers of Jesus. While there is no specific date marking the official start of Christianity, the events surrounding Jesus' life and the subsequent apostolic missions are foundational to its inception.
