Changes: Jesus

Revision as of 02:41, 19 October 2015

"Is this all real? Or has this been happening inside my head?"

The topic of this article is of a real-life subject that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source. The Harry Potter Wiki is written from the perspective that all information presented in canon is true (e.g., Hogwarts really existed), and, as such, details contained in this article may differ from real world facts.

Jesus of Nazareth is the central figure of Christianity, also regarded as a prophet of God in Islam. He is also known as Jesus Christ and was a son of a woman called Mary, who was also raised by Mary's husband Joseph, a carpenter who apprenticed Jesus in the same trade. Jesus was unjustly put to death at the age of 33 at the instigation of Jewish leaders, and at the hands of the Roman Empire, who believed him to be a rebel attempted to end Roman occupation of Judea. However, three days after his execution He rose again. The holiday of Christmas is often celebrated to honor his birth and the holiday of Easter often celebrates his resurrection.

There was a stained glass window at the Parish Church of St. Clementine at Godric's Hollow depicting Christ and the authors of the four books of the Gospel — Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.^[1]
