Christianity

Christianity is a major world religion, and the religion of around two-thirds of Canadians. Believers hold that the life, death and resurrection of Jesus in the first century AD, as presented in the Bible and in the Christian tradition, are central to their understanding of who they are and how they should live. As the Messiah, or the Christ (Greek christos, "the anointed one," or "the one chosen by God"), Jesus was to restore God's creation to the condition intended by its creator. Jesus' first followers included some fishermen, a rich woman, a tax collector and a rabbinical student - a diverse group of enthusiasts who scandalized their fellow Jews and puzzled their Greek neighbours. They claimed that Jesus had accomplished his redemptive mission by submitting himself to execution as a state criminal and later rising from the dead. They argued that he was thus revealed to be both human and divine, and they invited all, not just Jews, to join them in living as members of the Church (Greek kuriakon, "that which belongs to the Lord").

Cicada

Cicadas are large, sound-producing insects in the family Cicadidae, best known for their multi-year life cycles. They are true bugs, belonging to the order Hemiptera. Scientists know of more than 3,200 species of cicada worldwide, most of them from the tropics. In Canada, scientists have recorded 21 species, found in forested areas across the country and as far north as Sambaa Deh Falls Territorial Park, Northwest Territories. The loud, distinctive calls of males are heard on warm summer days, and are unique to each species. Cicada species are either annual or periodical, depending on their life cycle. While annual species are seen each year, periodical species emerge in 13- or 17-year cycles. Only annual species of cicada are found in Canada.
