He is best known for being the official who presided over [[Pilate's court\|the trial of Jesus]] and ultimately ordered [[crucifixion of Jesus\|his crucifixion]].{{sfn\|Bond\|1998\|p=201}} Pilate's importance in Christianity is underscored by his prominent place in both the [[Apostles' Creed\|Apostles']] and [[Nicene Creed]]s. Because the [[gospel]]s portray Pilate as reluctant to execute Jesus, the [[Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church\|Ethiopian Church]] believes that Pilate became a Christian and venerates him as both a [[martyr]] and a [[saint]], a belief which is historically shared by the [[Coptic Orthodox Church\|Coptic Church]],{{sfnm\|1a1=Carter\|1y=2003\|1p=11\|2a1=Grüll\|2y=2010\|2p=167\|3a1=Luisier\|3y=1996\|3p=411}} with a [[Calendar of saints\|feast day]] on 19 or 25 June, respectively. Although Pilate is the best-attested governor of Judaea, few sources regarding his rule have survived. Nothing is known about his life before he became governor of Judaea, and nothing is known about the circumstances that led to his appointment to the governorship.{{sfnm\|1a1=Schwartz\|1y=1992\|1p=398\|2a1=Lémonon\|2y=2007\|2p=121}} Coins that he minted have survived from Pilate's governorship, as well as a single inscription, the so-called [[Pilate stone]]. The Jewish historian [[Josephus]], the philosopher [[Philo]] of Alexandria, and the [[Gospel of Luke]] all mention incidents of tension and violence between the Jewish population and Pilate's administration. Many of these incidents involve Pilate acting in ways that offended the religious sensibilities of the Jews. The Christian gospels record that Pilate ordered the crucifixion of Jesus at some point during his time in office; Josephus and the Roman historian [[Tacitus]] also record this information.
