Description
Depicted by the master iconographer Michael Damaskinos in the 16th century, this icon shows the Church Fathers taking part in the Ecumenical Council of Nicaea. Emperor St. Constantine the Great sits just right of the center, surrounded by the holy bishops. The heretic Arius is visible at the bottom, cowering after his heresy was condemned by the council.
It was at this council that St. Nicholas of Myra famously struck Arius for his blasphemy resulting in his ejection from the council and the loss of his position as bishop. However, he was restored by God’s intervention through a vision seen by many of the council fathers in which Christ Himself appeared and restored the saint to his former place.
The Fathers of this Council are commemorated on the Sunday before Pentecost, May 29, while the first six Ecumenical Councils are all commemorated together on the Sunday between July 13 and 19.
