Christianity

Groups the spreadevent entries documenting Christianity's historical diffusion, from its first century origin in Roman Judea outward through Pauline missionary journeys across Asia Minor and Greece, its survival of imperial persecution and eventual establishment within the Roman Empire, its separate eastward reach through the Church of the East into Sasanian Persia and Tang China, its reach into Aksum, and in later centuries its expansion through European colonial and missionary activity into the Americas, Africa and Asia. Belongs here: any event marking Christianity's geographic, demographic or institutional expansion into a new region, culture or ruling house. Does not belong here: doctrinal councils and creed-formation events with no geographic-spread component; the spread events of any other tradition, each grouped under its own heading.
