Christianity

Christianity is based upon the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth as presented in canonical gospels and the New Testament writings. Christianity is a monotheistic religion; however, there are several different groups within Christianity. The three largest groups within Christianity are: the Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox churches and the various forms of Protestantism. Followers of Christianity are known as Christians and are taught that Jesus is the Son of God and God became human which in turn made him the savior of humanity.

Many people follow Christianity across the world and the religion is popular across most of Europe and the United States. Followers often visit churches or places of worship on a Sunday to take part in Sunday services on their day of rest. Churches are a place where people can go and worship God and Jesus Christ and there are different services throughout the week to include all members of the church. It is an often occurrence that children go to Sunday school whilst parents go to a Sunday mass. During a Sunday mass people will often take communion bread and wine to symbolize the body and blood of Christ.

Christianity is a religion that many people turn to in times of hardship to gain comfort and strength. Many people will pray each day and say Grace before eating a meal. Prayer is comforting for many followers and is part of everyday routines. Prayers can be in many forms and can be done alone or in groups. During church services the congregation will commonly take part in a group prayer.
