The Edict of Milan was significant in the development of Christianity because it allowed for Christians to freely worship without fear of persecution. This edict, issued in 313 AD by Emperor Constantine and Licinius, granted religious tolerance throughout the Roman Empire and effectively ended the state-sanctioned persecutions of Christians, allowing the faith to spread more freely and widely.
