After the death of Jesus, the closest followers (called the disciples or the apostles) traveled the regions nearby and helped establish churches. These churches grew and the message of Christianity spread. The apostle Paul traveled to the Roman Empire to spread the Christian message. By the 300s AD, Christianity had become the Roman Empire's official religion. The religion then spread throughout Europe and the Roman Catholic Church became strong and influential. Many early European settlers in the New World were devout Christians. Christians also began sending missionaries all over the world, including Asia and Africa.
