(Jesus of Nazareth, Jesus Christ or Christ; Bethlehem, c. 6 B.C. - Jerusalem, c. 30 A.D.) Founding Jewish preacher of the Christian religion, whom his followers consider the son of God. The name of Christ means in Greek "the anointed one" and it becomes a title equivalent to that of Messiah.
The life of Jesus is narrated in the Gospels written by some of the early Christians. Settled in Nazareth, his parents, Saint Joseph and the Virgin Mary, were accidentally in Bethlehem to enroll in a population census when Jesus was born. The Gospel account surrounds the birth of Jesus with a series of wonders that are part of the Christian faith, such as the genealogy that makes him descend from King David, the virginity of Mary, the announcement of the event by an angel and the adoration of the newborn by the shepherds and by some astronomers from the East.
