Answer: In the year of our Lord.

Explanation: (often abbreviated A. D. or AD). A. D is the initialism of Anno Domini a Latin phrase meaning, in the year of our Lord.

A. D. does not mean "after death," as many people suppose. It signifies the year Jesus Christ was born.

It is the current date era beginning approximately 2000 years ago in the Gregorian calendar, based on the assumed birth of Jesus Christ.
