History of Christianity

As per the Holy Bible, after 50 days of the death of Jesus Christ, the first Church was established on the day of Pentecost. There is a belief that the holy spirit descended on the Christians on this very day.

Earlier, most of the Christians were Jewish and the Church was built in Jerusalem. Later, many non-Jews also adopted the path of Christianity. Christians considered their duty to spread Christianity and its teachings. One of the most important missionaries was the apostle Paul, commonly known as Saint Paul, who spread the teachings of Jesus Christ.

After having a supernatural meeting with Christ, Paul converted into Christianity and there is a mention about it in Acts of the Apostles. Paul spread the teachings of Christ and established churches throughout the Roman Empire, Europe, and Africa. It is believed that If Paul had not put in his best efforts, Christianity would not have captured large sections of the world. Apart from this, he wrote 13 out of the 27 books in the new testament.
