The '''atonement''' is a [[doctrine]] found within both [[Christianity]] and [[Judaism]]. It describes how sin can be [[forgiven]] by [[God]]. In Judaism, Atonement is said to be the [[process]] of forgiving or pardoning a transgression. This was [[originally]] accomplished through [[rituals]] performed by a high priest (Kohen) on the holiest day of the Jewish year, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom_Kippur Yom Kippur] (Day of Atonement). In Christian [[theology]] the atonement refers to the forgiving or pardoning of sin through the death of [[Jesus]] Christ by [[crucifixion]], which made possible the reconciliation between [[God]] and [[creation]].
