Important anniversary - 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicea


The year 2025 marks the 1700th anniversary of the world’s first Ecumenical Council, the Council of Nicea of 325, a key moment in the history of Christianity. To mark the anniversary, Pro Tridentina (Malta) is planning a year of activities that will include seminars, lectures and other activities. 

The first Ecumenical Council in 325 was a gathering of Christian bishops in Nicea (present-day Türkiye), as the first attempt to reach consensus in the church through an assembly representing all of Christendom, and to affirm the Christian faith in the triune God. It was held under the patronage of the Emperor Constantine the Great, to affirm the faith and witness to the society around the Empire. 

This anniversary offers an opportunity to celebrate and reflect on the affirmation of faith in the Nicene Creed, as well as ponder the current situation where traditional Catholics are de facto being thrown out of the Church's structures. Further information will be posted in due course on this website.
