Christians are followers of Christ.
Background[]
Many are members of the Roman Catholic Church. Some Christians are faithful to their beliefs.
A line from the The Compleat Works of William Shakespeare is from a man who claims to be a Christian faithful man.
- O, I have passed a miserable night,
- So full of ugly sights, of ghastly dreams,
- That, as I am Christian faithful man,
- I would not spend another a night,
- Though 'twere to buy a world of happy days.
The Bible is a Christian holy book, and they also celebrate many traditional holidays such as Christmas, Michaelmas, and Halloween. Though certain aspects of these traditions are shared with pagans as well.
The RIP on headstones comes from religious traditions and is Latin (Requiescat in pace) or in common "Rest in peace".
