	The attitude of Constantine toward the Church - by Al. Vasilief
		In addition to all this, Constantine's name is connected with the erection of many churches in all parts of his immense empire.
		In Jerusalem, in the place where Christ was buried, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was erected; on the Mount of Olives Constantine built the Church of the Ascension and at Bethlehem the Church of the Nativity.
		By having been recognised by the state, Christianity had the chance to influence more people and expand; this course is not without danger, precisely the danger of secularization, yet the truth is that, as monasticism preceded the official recognition of Christianity, it remained and evolved as a further zeal and exemplar, not as a reaction.
