It reiterated the toleration of Christianity, extended it to all religions and provided for compensation by the state to those who had bought or received Christian property as a gift which had been confiscated during the persecution and returned it to the Christians. The main aim of the edict seems to have been to act as an order for the governor of Syria to stop persecuting the Christians in his province. This governor continued the persecution, ignoring Galerius' edict.Neither the Edict of Toleration by Galerius nor the Edict of Milan made Christianity legal. Christianity had never been made illegal.
