In a lighter vein, I have come across the explanation that AD means "After the Death of Christ", and BC means "Before the birth of Christ". Of course this leaves the small space between the birth and the death undefined. I know this is not the correct expansion or explanation for AD and BC. For my own educational purposes, I would like to know the Greek or other phrases which are abbreviated as AD and BC, and which stands for "In the year of our Lord Jesus Christ" etc. -Krishnamachari Message: 3 Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2002 11:10:46 -0400 From: Parthasarati Dileepan <dileepan@xxxx> Subject: Re: Re: Hinduism Dear Sri S.V.
