The occasion of Emperor Constantine’s conversion into the faith of Christ, and the Roman Empire’s transformation from persecutor to protector of Christianity, is historically related to the famous Milan edict of toleration, i.e. the official decision of the Roman emperors Constantine the Great and Licinius to grant freedom to the Christian religion and Church. This Edict was issued in February of 313 in Milan, and promulgated in the East at Nicomedia on June 13, 313. 1,700 years ago, Europe tolerantly accepted Christianity as the free faith of the Cross and the Resurrection, as the Church of Christ the God-Man and Savior of the whole world. Where today, after 1,700 years, is this Europe?
