Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ was a first-century AD religious figure in Christianity. He is also the son of God.

Birth, Childhood, and Ministry
Jesus was born in Bethlehem, to Mary and Joseph, in a stable, anywhere from 7 BC to 4 AD. His birth was a very important event. The Wise Men (nowhere in the Bible does it say there were three) gave him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. This is the holiday that we celebrate as Christmas.

As a child, he studied with the local priests.

When Jesus was an adult, he preached to many people and performed many miracles.

Crucifixion and Resurrection
In around AD 33, Jesus was found guilty by the Romans. He apparently committed malicious acts, but he did nothing wrong. He was soon crucified on a cross. His disciples eventually moved Jesus off of the cross and into a nearby tomb.

Three days later, Jesus returned from the tomb to meet his disciples. The disciples were astonished at his resurrection.

Post-resurrection
After Jesus was resurrected, he stayed on the Earth for fifty days. Then he ascended into Heaven.
