2025 is 1700 years since the Nicene Creed was formed. The city provides much insights into the history of Christianity by the remaining ruins of the ancient city of Nicaea.
Council of 325
The council of 325 decided many important theological issues, especially concerning the Oneness in Trinity in relationship to the person of Jesus Christ. These early believers were attempting to define what they knew in the Scriptures by formulating doctrinal statements that would bring unity and focus for the church.[1]https://earlychurchtexts.com/public/creed_of_nicaea_325.htm
In my walking tour, I visit the Northern Walls, the Iznik Hagia Sophia, the Sunken (now unsunken) Byzantine Basilica and the Iznik Courtyard Museum. This page begins the write ups and please see my other blogs that will give more detail.
