Nicaea (Council of Nicaea)

The Council of Nicaea, held in 325 AD, was a significant gathering of Christian bishops convened by Emperor Constantine in Nicaea (modern-day Turkey). Its primary goal was to address disagreements in Christian beliefs, particularly regarding the nature of Jesus Christ and his relationship to God. The council produced the Nicene Creed, a statement of faith affirming the belief in the Trinity and the divinity of Christ. This event marked an essential step in unifying Christian doctrine and reducing theological disputes, ultimately shaping the future of Christianity as a major world religion.
