keresztények

keresztények refers to Christians, adherents of Christianity, which is the world's largest religion. Christianity originated in the 1st century CE in the Roman province of Judea with the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. Christians believe Jesus to be the Son of God and the Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament. Central to their faith is the belief in Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection, which they believe offers salvation from sin.

The core tenets of Christianity are found in the Bible, specifically the New Testament, which recounts Jesus' life, miracles, teachings, and the early spread of the faith by his apostles. Key Christian doctrines include the concept of the Holy Trinity, which posits God as three co-equal persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Christians often engage in practices such as prayer, attending church services, partaking in sacraments like baptism and communion, and following ethical guidelines derived from the Bible.

Christianity has branched into numerous denominations and traditions over its history, including Catholicism, Protestantism, and Orthodoxy, each with its own distinct interpretations of scripture and practices. Despite these differences, a shared belief in Jesus Christ as savior unites Christians worldwide. The religion has profoundly influenced global culture, art, philosophy, and social structures throughout history and continues to be a major force in the lives of billions of people.
