how did Christianity Enter Europe and the UK?

Answer 1

The conversion of Constantine is one of the unsolved problems of history. Thousands have written on this event, which changed the history of the world, yet do not agree. Years after his supposed conversion he continued to use Pagan language and he remained the head—Pontifex Maximus or Sovereign Pontiff—of the old Roman religion until he died.Then, in 321, Constantine made the day of Sol Invictus a holy day and a day of rest for the Christians—Sunday.

In 321 he ordered the auspices or religious diviners of the Pagan religion, against whom he had issued a severe decree, to make their exploration of the entrails of birds as usual if the palace were struck by lightning. In the following year he instituted the Sarmatian Games, with the usual Pagan religious accompaniments to the scandal of the Christians. In 330 he ordered the closing of two of the liveliest temples of Aphrodite in the east, and they were either not closed or were reopened at once. After his death, the Pagans made him, as was customary, a god. So no one knows his real beliefs but he adopted Christianity, and that was the beginning of its triumph. He deferred his baptism until the approach of death recommended to him this easy method of obliterating his crimes, baptism supposedly washing away all sin.

On the other hand, he established the principle of persecution of the old religion and his massive generosity to the Church lifted it in twenty years to a position of which it had never dreamed. Was he a Christian? Was he, as the Pagan historian, Zosimus, says an adherent of the old religion in his father’s way until the scorn of Rome for the murder of his wife and son drove him entirely into the arms of Christians? Or was it, until the end, merely a policy of creating a powerful organization, intensely attached to himself, out of the Christian body?
In 251 AD, when the Church had enjoyed a long peace, Pope Cornelius reported that he had a staff of 154 ministers of various ranks, among them being 52 exorcists! He had forty-six priests, fourteen deacons and sub-deacons, and ninety-four lesser clerics. The Roman Christians also supported 1500 widows and destitutes. Gibbon deduced this stood for about 50,000 Christians in a population of about a million.
Thus christianity entered Europe.

Answer 2

Largely through missionaries who travelled all over the Roman Empire and often outside it as well. Although there is considerable dispute about the facts, it is possible that Christianity entered the UK in the late 30s AD, following the crucifixion of Christ and his disciples escape. Britain, being then outside the Roman Empire, would have been an attractive destination. Certainly ALL Catholic church synods from around 314 onwards always recognised the primacy of Britain. It is also curious that Britain sent 3 bishops to the synod in 314 which was one of the largest numbers. There is no doubt that Christianity entered Britain during the 1st century AD, though the precise date cannot be established. In the same way, we know that Christian missionaries were already so numerous in the 60s AD that there were thousands of them being martyred in Rome. Churches were also flourishing all over France, Spain, Italy, and even outside Europe.

Answer 3

There were a lot of Missionaries from the Roman Empire, as well, many Christians who were fleeing the Roman Empire settled in Germania, Gaul (France) and Britainia (UK). The famous follower of Jesus, Joseph of Armithea may have owned property in Britainia, leading to the grail legends. The were also many cases, particularly in Scandinavia were Christianity was introduced through marriage to Christian woman by pagan kings.
