Nicene

The Nicene refers to the First Council of Nicaea, a major Christian church gathering held in 325 AD. Its purpose was to clarify core Christian beliefs, particularly addressing debates about Jesus’s divine nature. The council produced the Nicene Creed, a formal statement affirming that Jesus Christ is truly divine and equal with God the Father. This creed became a foundational statement of Christian faith, helping unify beliefs across different Christian communities and establishing orthodox doctrine that influences Christianity to this day.
