The History of Christianity

Christianity originally began in the first century A.D. in Jerusalem. It started off as a religion that was heavily persecuted but later became the state religion of the Roman Empire. Christianity would eventually spread to become, at one point, the worlds largest religion. Disputes within the church have resulted in many distinct sects of christianity.

Baptism

Baptism in the Catholic Religion is very important and typically happens during childhood. When they are baptized they also get godfathers. Once baptized the person/child is suppose to get rid of sin and is only one of the steps towards reaching heaven.

12 Apostles

According to the Catholic Religion around the age of thirty Jesus chose 12 Apostles from many diciples that Jesus had. These apostles both helped Jesus before and after his resurection.


Both these websites give a pretty good idea of who and what the diciples did.
