In about AD 30, a young man began to preach in Plaestine that he was ther son of God, the Messiah, or anointed one, that the Jews had been expecting. Many people accepted his message and his following grew rapidly. The Jewish authorities resented his work, and he was arrested and crucified by the Roman governor of Plaestine in about AD 33. Within a century, his message had speard throughout Asia Minor and into Europe, becoming tolerated throughout the mighty Roman Empire in 313. Today, Christianity, the religion he founded, is one of the World`s great religious faiths.

Spearding of Christianity:
St Paul and other follower of Jesus begin to speard the Christian message;Christians are persecuted in the Roman Empire.
St Mark writes his gospel the earliest surviving record on the life of Jesus.
Christianity receives official tolerance in the Roman Empire.
Lord Jesus Christ was a truly son of God. His easy and deep meaning parables cause great revolution of mind within the general people. General people understand that their true power aganist the corrupt monarchy . They also understand the true meaning of exsistence of God not only within the Temple and King`s palace but within the every people`s mind and whole nature.Therefore people believed Lord Jesus as true messenger of God who will be the "True King" of the People. After the death of lord Jesus the whole Christianity (Religious Believe of Lord Jesus) got great momentum by the followers and believers of Lord Jesus to its extreme height that whole Roman Empire have to bow down to Christianity and officially announced as main religion of Roman Empire.
Good Friday:
is a religious holiday observed primarily by Christians commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary. The holiday is observed during Holy Week as part of the Paschal Triduum on the Friday preceding Easter Sunday, and may coincide with the Jewish observance of Passover. It is also known as Black Friday, Holy Friday, Great Friday, or Easter Friday,though the latter normally refers to the Friday in Easter week.
Based on the details of the Canonical gospels, the Crucifixion of Jesus was most likely to have been on a Friday (John 19:42) The estimated year of Good Friday is AD 33, by two different groups, and originally as AD 34 by Isaac Newton via the differences between the Biblical and Julian calendars and the crescent of the moon. A third method, using a completely different astronomical approach based on a lunar Crucifixion darkness and eclipse model (consistent with Apostle Peter's reference to a "moon of blood" in Acts 2:20), points to Friday, 3 April AD 33.
