Jesus (fl. c. 4 BCE – c. 33 CE), also known as Jesus of Nazareth or Jesus Christ, was a 1st century Jewish rabbi and carpenter who became one of the central figures of Christianity. His believers, called Christians, view him as the Christ and the Messiah foretold in the Old Testament, believing him to be the Son of God who sacrificed himself to cleanse the sins of all humanity, before being resurrected from the dead and ascending to Heaven.
Early Christians wrote down his life and teachings as the New Testament. His miraculous powers were discovered to be due to possessing a Shroud of Eden.
History
At one point in his life, Jesus Christ come in to contact with a Piece of Eden called the Shroud of Eden and began performing many miracles by harnessing its restorative powers, such as healing the sick and wounded and at one point even resurrecting the recently deceased Lazarus.
However, the Order of the Ancients took notice of his many followers and investigated these groups as well as these miracles being performed by Jesus. After being betrayed by Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, Jesus was arrest by the Romans under the control of the Order. He was tortured and then crucify on mount Golgotha, while the Ancients took the Shroud for themselves.[1] However, Jesus' disciples were able to recover the Shroud and on the third day, resurrect him.[2]
Legacy and influence
After his death, his disciples spread his teachings through the Middle East and Roman Empire and developped as a religion: the Christianity. Until the 4th century, the Christians were persecuted by the Roman Empire before the emperor Constantine I stopped the persecution. The Christianity became the major religion in the Roman Empire.[3] A church was constructed on the place where Jesus was crucified and buried, becoming a important place of pilgrimage.[4]
Even after the fall of the Roman Empire, Christianity remained of the major religion in Mediterranean world. In Rome, the bishop of the city became an influencial person in Europe, taking the title of Pope and having his own State. Their inflence was increased by three pieces of Eden, the Staff of Eden and two prongs of the Trident of Eden.[1] During the 10th century, Denmark was converted by the bishop Poppa to Christianity using a prong of the Trident.[5]
During the Middle Ages, the crown of thorns allegedly worn by Jesus was in the possession of the Last Latin Emperor Baldwin II. In 1238, he sold the crown to King Louis IX of France, who stored it in the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris.[6]
