Christopher Columbus
- Country : Italy
- Profession : Navigator, Explorer, And Mariner
- DOB: 1451-10-31
Christopher Columbus (1451-1506) was an Italian explorer who embarked on four voyages across the Atlantic Ocean, opening the way for widespread European exploration and the eventual conquest of the Americas by Europeans. In 1492, he sailed from Spain in search of a westward route to Asia, but instead, he stumbled upon the islands of the Caribbean. His journeys, sponsored by the Catholic Monarchs of Spain, initiated the Columbian Exchange, a transformative exchange of plants, animals, culture, and diseases between the Old World and the New World. Despite controversy over his impact on indigenous populations, Columbus remains a significant figure in history.
The New World offers new beginnings, new dreams, and new opportunities waiting to be explored.

There’s no question that the inspiration was from the Holy Spirit because He comforted me with rays of marvelous illumination from the Holy Scriptures.
