Jesus Christ was an historical figure and religious icon.

Role[]

Some followers of the teachings of the Magisterium (for example the League of St Alexander) held Jesus in high authority, however it is unclear precisely the role Jesus played in Lyra's world's formation of Christianity. One example of Jesus' role in Lyra's world is Iofur Raknison's wish to be baptized 'as a Christian'.

The story of Jesus Christ was taught at schools around Brytain and were reinforced by members of the League of St Alexander.[1]

Behind the scenes[]
