Christianity Holiday

Christianity is an Abrahamic monotheistic religion, professing that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead and is the Son of God, whose coming as the Messiah was prophesied in the Hebrew Bible and chronicled in the New Testament. It is the world's largest and most widespread religion with over 2.38 billion followers, comprising around 31.2% of the world population. Its adherents, known as Christians, are estimated to make up a majority of the population in 157 countries and territories.

Over the years, numerous Christianity holidays have been developed, each commemorating significant events in the life of Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary, saints, or other aspects of the faith.
