Christianity+and+Catholicism+by+Gabby

 How Christianity began Christianity began spreading originally from Jerusalem, and spread through the east. During the early history of Christianity, it spread from its beginnings as a first century Jewish sect, to a religion of the whole Greek and Roman world, and beyond!!!  Christianity started about 2000 years ago in Judea (present-day Israel) with Jesus Christ and His faithful group of disciples. It was found about c. 33 AD. Jesus of Nazareth, a Jewish carpenter, founded christianity!
