Abstract

The essay is dedicated to the way in which the first ecumenical council (Nicaea 325) is embedded in the celebratory culture of remembrance (heortology) and the iconic-narrative world (iconography) of the Orthodox Church. Among other things, the author argues in favour of the introduction of a feast day of the Nicene Council to be celebrated throughout Christendom, as the heortological equivalent of a growing synodal ethos. Furthermore, the author asks about the possible relevance of the 1700-year anniversary of Nicea for today's discourse, emphasizing the challenging centrality of genuine theological questions (Triadology and Christology).
