Bengali Christians (Bengali: বাঙালি খ্রিস্টান) are adherents of Christianity among the Bengali people. Christianity took root in Bengal after the arrival of Portuguese voyagers in the 16th century. It witnessed further conversions among the Bengali upper-caste elite during the 19th century Bengali Renaissance. Bengali Christians have made significant contributions to Bengali culture, commerce and society. The region is home to venerable Christian missionary institutions, including the Missionaries of Charity founded by Mother Teresa.

  • Bengalaj kristanoj estas sekvantoj de kristanismo inter Bengalanoj. Ili parolas la bengalan lingvon kaj estas insiĝenaj de Bangladeŝo kaj la subŝtato de Barato nome Okcidenta Bengalo. La majoritato de Bengalaj kristanoj estas Romkatolikoj. Kristanismo enradikiĝis en Bengalio post la alveno de marveturantoj el Portugalio en la 16a jarcento. Ĝi poste profitis pliajn konvertojn inter elitoj de Bengalio dum la epoko de la 19a jarcento nome Bengalia Renesanco. (eo)
