B.C. Stands for Before Christ. A.D. some people believe stands for After Death, but the truth is that A.D. stands for Anno Domine (don't trust my spelling on this one) which means "In the year of our Lord" thus referring to when Christ was born, thus began A.D. and still goes on because it is still the year of our Lord after he conquered the grave and rose again to give us all salvation.
