__NOTOC__==''Synopsis== :'' The First Council of Nicaea took place during the reign of the emperor Constantine in 325 AD. It was the first ecumenical (from the Greek [[oikumene]] meaning "worldwide") conference of bishops of the Christian [[Church]]. The council dealt with the problems raised by the [[Arianism|Arian controversy]], concerning the nature of [[Jesus]], deciding against the Arians in favor of the doctrine of the [[Trinity]]. ==Contents==

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.
