Jesus of Nazareth

Jesus of Nazareth (c. 4 BC/BCE – c. 30 AD/CE), also known as Jesus Christ, is the central figure of Christianity, which views him as the Messiah foretold in the Old Testament believing him to be the Son of God who was raised from the dead. His prominent work was the performing of grand miracles, mostly involving the body.

In the Assassin's Creed universe, it is stated that Jesus' miracles are granted from the powers of The Shroud, a Piece of Eden. The Templars were behind the crucifixion of Christ, in order to gain the Shroud. Somehow, the disciples stole the Shroud back and possibly used it to resurrect their Messiah. After this, traces of the Shroud has disappeared. Also, Jesus' influence on the mindset and beliefs of the people heavily imply that he was in possession of The Apple, another Piece of Eden, though there are no statements to reinforce this.

Trivia

• Jesus' possession of The Shroud, implies a connection to the Shroud of Turin.
  • In recent developments, official Vatican researchers had uncovered evidence that the Shroud of Turin had been kept and venerated by the Templars since the 1204 sack of Constantinople. This further implies a connection to the Shroud of Turin.
