Jesus was 100% Jewish circa year zero. Observed Torah, went to and taught at synagogues, celebrated Hannukkah, ate a kosher diet, etc. But Christians don’t follow Jesus’s own religious practices.

        Back then it was technically the year 3000 something of recorded history. Christianity declared that that’s when time started.

        Back then they didn’t use Jesus’s birth (or at least, the date Dionysius Exiguus thought was Jesus’s birth) as the epoch for counting the years.
