After the Edict of Milan in 313 AD, Christianity became an official religion along with all the others. Note that in 313 it was an official religion, it was not the official religion until 380 AD.

According to Christian Scripture, Jesus established the Disciple Peter as the founder/leader of the Christian Church, when Jesus ascended into Heaven.


With some interruptions, Peter's successors eventually became the Popes, which today are the leaders of the Roman Catholic Church.

The first one to do this was Թագավոր Տրդատ Գ (King Tiridates III). He made Christianity the state religion of Armenia, the first nation to accept it as such. This was done after St. Gregory the Illuminator prayed to God and healed the dying Tiridates. Emperor Constantine accepted Christianity, but on his deathbed. He did it to have a significant accomplishment as emperor.

What event led to the recognition of Christianity as the offical religion of the roman empire?

The Roman emperor Constantine the Great ceased the persecution of the christian church that occurred before his reign. Constantine himself most likely converted to Christianity. However, he did very little on his own to spread the gospel and Christianity. Once Christianity was accepted by the ruling class, beginning with Constantine, recognition of Christianity as the official religion was well underway. Most believe that Constantine was exposed to the gospel by his mother. This would make good sense as she was a professing Christian.
