April 1, 409 Emperors Theodosius II (408 – 450) and Honorius (393 – 423)

Bust of Theodosius II Against Christian Conversion to Judaism; God – Fearers

A new crime of superstition shall obtain the unheard name of Heaven-Fearers [God-Fearers]. Let them know, that unless they return within a year to the cult of God and to the Christian veneration, they too shall be affected by those laws which we have ordered to be imposed on the heretics. For it is certain, that whatever differs from the faith of the Christians is obviously contrary to the Christian Law. Some people, moreover, oblivious of their and their position, dare to transgress the Law to such an extent, that they force some to cease being Christian and adopt the abominable and vile name of the Jews.”
