Many paths. Shared histories.
32 branches recorded under Christianity, one step down, as the records give them.
What this means
Association and branching, in both directions. Traditions overlap, split and re-merge; this is not a single-origin family tree, and being listed under another tradition is not the same as being recognised by it.
Does not imply a clean single-origin family tree · that the parent recognises the branch

Records whose own statements name this tradition — 3 of them. Computed from those statements, not curated here, and ordered by how widely each is linked across Wikipedia — those at home in the tradition’s collection first, and those with a picture first among the leading few — rather than by significance to the tradition.
A god named in a tradition is a figure of its accounts; a picture of one is a work of art, not a likeness.

Places and sites
What this means
Records whose own statements name this tradition — 21 of them. Computed from those statements, not curated here, and ordered by how widely each is linked across Wikipedia — those at home in the tradition’s collection first, and those with a picture first among the leading few — rather than by significance to the tradition.
A place that names a tradition may be a temple or a whole province. Either way it is not a count of believers, and not evidence of practice in every period.

A holy day’s day is the one its record states it is observed on. A festival recurs, so it has no date on the historical clock, and one named here is not evidence of when or where it was kept.

Connections
How Christianity connects
Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.
Succession in office 1
What this means
Who held an office after whom. Not parentage, not discipleship, and not universally recognised — offices are contested.
Does not imply parentage · discipleship · an explanation of why the succession happened
Imported from Wikidata unless a tile says otherwise. Nothing here has been read by an editor.
Documented influence 4
What this means
A transmission argued from evidence. Not shared symbols, and not a short path through a database.
Does not imply shared symbols as evidence · a short path through a database
Imported from Wikidata unless a tile says otherwise. Nothing here has been read by an editor.
Place 2
What this means
Where something is, or is documented. A location is not by itself evidence of activity.
Does not imply that anything is documented to have happened there
Imported from Wikidata unless a tile says otherwise. Nothing here has been read by an editor.

Recorded events and days 2
What this means
Events Wikidata records in a subject’s history, and the day a festival is kept. Not a complete history, and the day a festival falls on is not when it began.
Does not imply that these are all the events in its history · that Wikidata ranks the events by importance
