Christianity
Christians believe in one God the father, and his son Jesus Christ. They believe that Jesus came to the earth and lived a perfect sinless life to save us from all of our sins. He died on a cross to sacrifice himself so that our sins were wiped clean. Christmas was the day that Jesus was born and is a big holiday in the Christian faith. Easter is another major holiday in Christianity because it is the day that Jesus was resurrected from the dead. Christians believe that once you die depending on the life you lived and if you were a follower of Jesus or not wil depend if you go to Heaven or Hell.
