5 Things You Never Knew About the Council of Nicaea

The Council of Nicaea wasn’t just about the Trinity—it was a turning point for the Church with far more happening than most people realize. In this video, we unpack five surprising facts you likely never knew: from Arius’ shocking return from exile to miracle-working bishops, the revision of the Nicene Creed, and Constantine’s blunt reasons for changing the Easter calendar. These stories shed new light on arguably the most important council in Church history.
