Christianity first had only few people supporting it. After that many people started to agree what Christianity supports, like to love God and it does  not matter what you eat or whoever you are, you just need to show love for God. When people started to agree with that idea and they did not agree that Roman emperors are gods, the Roman emperors didn’t like it. They didn’t like the idea of Christianity so they were sentenced to die. When Constantine was there, he legalized Christianity because of the victory in a battle and now Christianity is the State religion in Rome.

Christianity developed and changed in many ways. At first, it was just a small group of disciples following a man named Jesus who spoke at different churches and public places. He was originally a Jew, and spread many of its important laws. He specifically preached about the importance of having love, mercy, loving God, and treating everyone the way you want to be treated. He started to gain followers rapidly, beginning to pose as a threat to the Romans. They were worried he would lead a revolt, so he was crucified. Three days after his death, he rose from the dead and appeared to his followers. Even before the Resurrection, Jews thought he was the Messiah that God had sent to save them. This only convinced them further that he was the Son of God and by following his teachings, you would be saved. Many years after his death, four of his faithful followers decided to write the Gospels, which were records of his life and teachings. As more people began converting to the Christian faith and becoming missionaries, Christianity spread rapidly throughout the empire. Christians were brutally tortured for their religion but over time, because of their bravery and devotion, they attracted even more followers to the religion. Until eventually, Constantine proposed the Edict of Milan, claiming all Christians should be able to practice their religion openly and by 380 C.E., Christianity was the official religion of the Roman Empire. It started from a few followers listening to a man preaching in churches and public areas to a religion that spread over the entirety of the Roman Empire and have millions hope and purpose.

At the starting Christianity only had very few followers but as time went on Christianity gained more followers. Soon Christianity was all over Europe and was starting to be noticed by the emperors but they just saw it as another religion. Things changed when Christianity stopped listening to Roman rules and soldiers who believed in Christianity quit since Christianity is all about spreading love and care and not harming creatures. Now it was affecting the Roman Empire so the emperor took action, they forbade practices of Christianity and killed anyone who still followed it. This all changed when Constante saw a vision of Jesus, later that night he also mentioned having a dream about Jesus.
