On the Sunday between Ascension and Pentecost, our Church honors the Holy Fathers of the First Ecumenical Council in Nicaea, which took place 1,700 years ago. These were bishops and shepherds who came from all over the Christian world, gathered by the Emperor Saint Constantine, to protect the truth of our faith: that Jesus Christ is not a creation, but the eternal Son of God, equal to the Father in divinity and glory.
