The participating bishops were given free travel to and from their episcopal sees to the council, as well as lodging.
Another result of the council was an agreement by all the Churches, through the agreement of their bishops, to celebrate [[Easter]] on the same day. As by far the most important feast of the Church's life, it was thought important for all to celebrate the [[Resurrection]] together.
