    CHRISTIANITY

    WORLD RELIGION
    CHRISTIANITY
    Christianity is considered the most popular religion
    in the world with the most number of adherents
    among all religions. Starting around the 1st century
    C.E., it developed out of Judaism during the reign
    of the Roman Empire in West Asia. It centers on the
    life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ,
    who is considered the Messiah or Savior of humanity.
    The most common symbol for Christianity is the Cross.
    3 Holy Trinity
    • Holy Trinity, which means God has
    three aspects
    • 1. Father,
    • 2. Son,
    • 3. and the Holy Spirit
    CONCEPT MAP OF CHRISTIANITY
    Christianity is a religion that is very familiar to Filipinos because the Philippines has
    become predominantly Catholic since the Spaniards occupied the country from the
    16th to the 19th centuries, with the spread of Catholicism as one of their enduring
    legacies to the Filipino people. It is considered the world’s largest religion, a religion
    based on the teachings of Jesus Christ who is considered the Son of God and the
    Messiah or Savior.

    Followers of Christianity are called Christians.


    Symbols
    The cross serves as a symbol of Jesus Christ’s victory
    over sins when He died on the cross for humanity’s
    redemption and salvation. Christ died on the cross
    and the cross serves as a reminder of the sacrifices
    made by God in order for humanity to live. In Roman
    Catholic churches, the crucifix is a regular feature,
    with the image of Christ nailed on the cross. This aims
    to emphasize Christ’s sufferings for humanity.
    Meanwhile, Protestant churches often feature only
    the cross without the image of the body of Christ, to
    emphasize Christ’s resurrection and not His suffering.
    Meanwhile, the fish symbol is as old as Christianity itself,
    for it was used by persecuted Christians as a secret sign
    when meeting other Christians. Because Christians were
    threatened by the Romans during the time, they had to
    make a secret code to avoid persecution. Thus, when
    meeting strangers on the way, a Christian would draw
    one arc of the fish outline, and if the stranger drew the
    other half it means they are both Christians and
    therefore safe in each other’s company. The word “fish”
    also has a secret meaning, for Christians made an
    acrostic from the Greek word for fish, which is ichtys:
    Iseous Christos Theou Yios Soter, meaning Jesus Christ,
    Son of God, Savior.
    Jesus as the Founder of Christianity
    It was in this backdrop that Jesus, founder of
    Christianity, lived and preached teachings that served
    as criticisms of Judaism, although he himself was a
    Jew. His ministry began when he was in his early
    thirties. Preaching and healing in the villages, he
    started to preach teachings which were considered
    revolutionary at that time.
    Religious Leaders
    The Catholic Church follows a certain hierarchy based
    on the Canon Law of the Catholic Church. At the top
    of the hierarchy is the pope, considered as Peter’s
    successor. The hierarchy also includes the cardinals,
    archbishops, bishops, priests, and deacons.

    The Pope serves as the head of the Catholic Church,


    the inheritor of Peter. He has his headquarters in the
    Vatican, an independent state in Rome. He is
    responsible for the general supervision of the church.
    He is the head of the Catholic Church and the head of
    the Vatican. He also has the authority to appoint
    administrative and religious officials in the Vatican.
