Thefreedom of the religion of Christ and publishing and promoting it as the official religionof the empire disrupted the political equations of the world on those days.The sassanid government was influenced by the happened event and evolution caused byit. Sassanian kings - who through the policy of Diaspora resettled a massive number ofChristains in Iranian cities unwittingly helped spreading Christianity in Iran.Interaction with religious minorities especially Christians was one of the most importantissues for the Sassanian kings. The growing trend of the non - citizenry class , thereligious dissonance with the Iranian zoroastrian society , and the consolidation of theSassanian clerics - although resulted in a period of persecution for Christians - but limitedthe relations of Christians with , the Sassanid community and counting on this weakrelationship was a fault.
