Pronunciation: [ðə kɹˈɪst͡ʃən ˈi͡əɹə] (IPA) 
"The Christian era" refers to the period of time marked by the birth and teachings of Jesus Christ, which began in the year traditionally believed to be his birth, 1 AD. While this term is widely used, there exist a number of synonyms that describe the same period. Some alternatives include "the Common Era" (CE), which became prevalent in the 20th century as an effort to be more inclusive of non-Christian cultures, "Anno Domini" (AD), the Latin phrase translating to "in the year of our Lord," and "the Western calendar," highlighting its origins and prevalence in the Western world. Regardless of the name, the Christian era remains a significant period in world history, shaping cultures, religions, and societies to this day.
