It began to spread when Jesus was ministring, although His followers weren't called Christians until much later. Perhaps the biggest single event that caused massive conversions was the day of Pentecost, when 3,000 people turned their lives over to Christ.

∙ 14y agoChristianity is the united earthwide congregation of those who follow and TEACH the true teachings of Jesus Christ, so technically it started to spread when Jesus started to preach, but John the Baptist prepared the way for Christianity. For six months-from the spring to the fall of 29 C.E., he focused the Jews' attention on the coming Messiah and preached about the coming Messiah among the Jews in the Roman Empire, so you COULD say it started a little earlier.
When Jesus began his ministry, people who had been following John, were directed to now follow Jesus. (John 1:35-40)
In 29 C.E. Jesus was anointed with holy spirit and became the promised Messiah, or Christ. (Gal. 3:16) Jesus would spend the next three and a half years "spreading Christianity" by preaching the good news of the Kingdom to the Jewish nation under Roman rule. After his death, his disciples continued the preaching work to the most distant parts of the earth.

∙ 14y agoThat is a wide question with many possible answers. However in simplest terms the largest spread of Christianity into the Roman empire was due to the fact that Roman Emperor Constantine I, also known as Constantine the Great, legalized Christianity and made it the state religion of Rome, after what he claimed was a vision from God before a battle. He didn't actually convert to Christianity though until he was on his death bed.

∙ 11y agoChristianity grew and spread in the Roman empire from about 35 AD (this is a loose estimate). Christianity began in the Roman empire, remember that Judaea was part of the empire and it was the birthplace of Christianity. From Judaea it spread by way of the missionary work of the disciples of Jesus.
