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.

wow i grew up as a Catholic but i never knew some of the facts that you brought up. Such as the Beheading of the pope day, i thought that was kinda odd because i have never heard of that holiday. or maybe i have just not in that form. well thanks for the great info
I thought that it was really interesting that at first it was being persecuted but now is the state religion of the roman empire.
You touch very breifly on the fact that it was originally prosecuted. Maybe their is more to add? Perhaps something about why, exactly, it as prosecuted, and what shifted it into being the state religion of the Roman Empire.
