Pope St. Sylvester I
d. 335
Pope Saint Sylvester I (died 335) led the Church from 314 to 335, the years when everything changed for Christians. Just a year before he became pope, the Edict of Milan of 313 had ended the persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire. After centuries of hiding and martyrdom, the Church could worship in public.
