Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In 313 CE, the emperor Constantine issued the Edict of Milan, which granted Christianity-as well as most other religions-legal status.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Edict of Milan gave Christianity legal status and a reprieve from persecution but did not make it the state church of the Roman Empire. That occurred in AD 380 with the Edict of Thessalonica.
Detailed explanation-3: -On March 7, 321, Sunday, which was sacred to Christians as the day of Christ’s resurrection and to the Roman Sun God Sol Invictus, was declared an official day of rest. On that day markets were banned and public offices were closed, except for the purpose of freeing slaves.
