Detailed explanation-1: -Christianity began as a Second Temple Judaic sect in the 1st century in the Roman province of Judea, from where it spread throughout and beyond the Roman Empire.
Detailed explanation-2: -Although Jesus had died, his message had not. Word of his teachings spread to Jewish communities across the empire.
