CHRISTIANITY
The doctrines and religious groups based on the teachings of Jesus. Jesus is held by most Christians to be the Son of God, the second part of the trinity, and the Savior of humanity. In some traditions, such as some Pentecostal churches, there is no belief in the holy Trinity. This teaching is embodied in the Bible, particularly in the New Testament. Rooted in Judaism, Christianity was founded in the 1st century in Palestine by disciples of Jesus.

Lord make me an instrument of your peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, joy. Grant that i may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console; to be understood, as to understand, to be loved, as to love; for it is in giving that we receive- it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in dying that we are born to eternal life
-- Francis of Assisi
