Christianity was introduced to Emerstari in the 1st century. In the 2nd century, Emperor Rudolf Godvan Bjornhjarta became a Christian and ordered the construction of the first Christian Church in what is Rensulier, derived from the Old Emerstarian word ''Renslagen'' meaning religion and ''ien'' meaning area or land. By the 3rd century, Christianity was largely accepted throughout the empire. Since the Reformation in Emerstari, the Church has been Evangelical Lutheran, while retaining much of its pre-Reformation liturgical traditions. The 1444 Constitution of Emerstari designated the church's head is the [[Monarch of Emerstari]] and mandates that the state support.
