Jesus of Nazareth, also known as Jesus Christ, is the central figure of Christianity, a monotheistic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus as presented in the New Testament. According to Christian belief, Jesus is the Son of God and the savior of humanity, who came to Earth to redeem humanity and reconcile it with God.
Jesus was born in the Roman province of Judea, which is now modern-day Israel, in the 1st century AD. The exact date of his birth is not known, but it is celebrated by Christians on December 25th. After a brief ministry in Palestine, Jesus was crucified by the Roman authorities, but his followers believed that he was resurrected three days later and ascended into heaven.
The teachings of Jesus, as recorded in the Gospels, form the basis of Christian doctrine and ethics. He is revered as a prophet and a teacher by millions of people around the world, and his life and teachings have had a profound influence on human history.
