 The First Ecumenical Council in 325

Emperor Constantine the Great, the first Christian King, realized that
the Church of Christ was plagued with various (incorrect) dogmatic
opinions of Arius, the Protopresbyter of Alexandria.
Emperor Constantine therefore organized in 325 the first Great
Ecumenical Council at Nicea in Asia Minor, which was attended by
318 God-bearing Fathers from throughout the Orthodox Christian
world who hastened to meet so as to deliver (protect) the Church
from heresy.
Emperor Constantine attended throughout the duration of the Council,
and many of the Holy Fathers who were present had suffered
greatly for their Confession in the Name of Christ, during the reign
of the previous Emperor.
Some had one eye removed, some had their noses or their ears cut off,
while others had their hands cut off or had suffered other hideous
injuries from cruel tortures.
The first day of this Event was amazing, for at the days conclusion
after the Prayer, the earth trembled, which bore witness to the Truth
that the decisions made at the Holy Gathering, were not of the will
of mankind, but by the very Breath, Inspiration and Will of God the
Holy Spirit. (i.e. due to the Will of God the Father, through God the
Son, by means of God the Holy Spirit. mp)
The main topic of discussion was the Divinity of the Second Person of
the Holy Trinity our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
The Holy Fathers declared Christ as the Eternal, Only Begotten Son of
St Justin Martyr
God ...Begotten of the Father before all ages... while Arius
argued that although Christ was ...the Son of God... He was not Let it be understood:
Begotten of the Father, but ...was created by the Father at some
point in time! Thus there was a time that the Son of God did not
Those who do not teach,
exist! nor Live by our LordJesus Christs Commandments
Arius further blasphemed against Christ, saying that Christ ...received are not Christian
flesh from the Virgin Mary only in appearance and not in actuality.
Because Arius and his supporters used great, eloquent words, and the
even if they profess His Teachings
Holy Fathers were humble and unable express themselves as with their lips!!
eloquently as the heretics, the Holy Fathers found themselves at a
disadvantage.
Then, the Archbishop of Myra in Lycea, St Nicholas, consumed with
sadness, slapped Arius across the cheek, which was duly reported
to the Emperor, whereupon Arius succeeded in having St Nicholas
imprisoned.
In the middle of the night, St Nicholas of Myra was Visited by Christ our
Saviour and the Ever-Virgin Theotokos, from whom he received a
golden Gospel Book and a golden woven Omophorion (Palium a
Liturgical Vestment of Bishops).
Emperor Constantine, having heard about the Miracle and seeing the
Miraculous Gifts for himself, immediately released St Nicholas.

TONE (6) PLAGAL 2 7TH
Yet another Divine Inspired Holy Hierarch who participated in the
Synod was St Spyridon of Trimythous, who used a piece of potshard
to illustrate how one single entity (a piece of pottery) was composed
by three unique entities (fire, water and clay) - a metaphor for the
Orthodox Doctrine of the Holy Trinity. As soon as he finished
speaking, the shard suddenly burst into flame, water dripped on
the ground, and only dust remained in his hand.
As Glorious as the Miracle was of the Heavenly Gifts that St Nicholas of
Myra received, this unique demonstration that St Spyridon was able
to deliver was just as equally amazing and impressive, since both
encouraged the pious to prevail over the heretics.
Slowly but surely, the Holy Fatherswith the Divine Help and
Inspiration of the Holy Spirittriumphed over the heretics, and
although they were full of Divine Love towards everyone including
the heretics, our Holy Church Fathers - with mercy and with tears in
their eyes -anathematized and removed Arius from the Synod as ...
an enemy of the Son of God and an Antichrist.
Later, the Holy Fathers composed the Symbol of the Faith and 20
Canons, which promoted the Liturgical Unity of the Church.
They also decided that the Orthodox Church would follow the Julian
Calendar to the end of the ages, and they wrote a Paschalion, - a
record of when Pascha is to be celebrated every year until the end
of time.
Two of the Holy Fathers Reposed during the Assembly of the First
Ecumenical Council, which saddened them all.
At the end of the First Assembly, Emperor Constantine placed the
decisions of the Synod signed by the remaining 316 Fathers in the
coffins of the two Reposed Holy Fathers.
On the morning of the second day, to the astonishment of all, upon
reopening the caskets, they found the signatures of the two
Reposed Holy Fathers on the documents resulting in all 318
signatures!
Archimandrite Gavriil (Urgebadze)
True Faith is found in our heart, not our mind.
Those who only have faith in their mind
will follow the antichrist.
But those who have True Faith in their heart and soul
will recognize him, avoid him and reject him!

PRAYER OF AZARIAH TONE 4
Blessed art Thou, O Lord God of our
Fathers, for Thou art Praiseworthy
and Exalted beyond measure unto
the ages.
for us, all Thou brought upon us,
and on Jerusalem, the Holy City of
our Fathers.
In those days, Paul had decided to sail
past Ephesos, so that he might not
have to spend time in Asia.
He was hastening to be - on the Day of
Pentecost if possible - at Jerusalem.
From Miletos he sent to Ephesos and
called to him the Elders of the
Church.
they went to him, he said to
them: Take heed to yourselves and
to all the Flock, in which the Holy
Spirit has made you Overseers, to
care for the Flock of the Church of
God, which He obtained with the
Blood of His own Son.
I know that after my departure fierce
Wolves will come in among you - not
sparing the Flock.
And from among yourselves men will
arise speaking perverse things, to
draw away the Disciples after them.
Therefore, be alert remembering that
for three years I did not cease - night
or day - to admonish everyone with
tears.
And now I commend you, Brethren, to
God and to the Word of His Grace,
which is able to build you up and to
grant you the Inheritance among all
those who are Sanctified.
I coveted no ones silver or gold or
apparel.
You youselves know that these hands
ministered to my necessities, and to
those who were with me.

Inspired by God, the Creed, in
phraseology concise, while sublime
in significance. Clearly, these
Enlightened and Blessed men,
receiving from on High this
Revelation, promulgated the
decision taught by God.
brought
together all their Pastoral Sience,
and when they had stirred their
Most Righteous Anger now
justifiably, they drove out with the
Sling of the Holy Spirit, the offensive
and corruptive wolves, and from the
complement of the Church of Christ
they expelled them all, as having
fallen mortally and being ill and
incurable. Thus they demonstrated
themselves to be True Servants of
the Lord, and Sacred Mystics of the
Divine Preaching Inspired by God.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit
When the Choir of the Holy Fathers
convened from every corner of the
civilized world, they decreed into
Dogma the single Essence and
Nature of the Father and the Son and
the Holy Spirit. And the Mystery of
Theology they cearly handed down
to the Church. Let us the Faithful,
called them Blessed and, extolling
them, let us say: O Divine Battalion,

Lords Armuy; Luminaries who shine
brightly in the Noetic Firmament;
the Mystical Zions Unassailable

Universe. Intercede insistently on
behalf of our soul.

did not know that it was Jesus.
Then Jesus said them:, Children, have
you any food?
the net on
the right side of the boats, and you
will find some.
cast the net and then they were
unable to draw it in because of the
multitude of fish.
Therefore that Disciple whom Jesus
loved said to Peter: It is the Lord!
Now when Simon Peter heard that it
was the Lord, he put on his outer
garment (for he had removed it), and
plunged into the sea.
the other Disciples came in the
little boat (for they were not far from
land, but about two hundred cubits),
dragging the net with fish.
Then, as soon as they had come to
land, they saw a fire of coals there,
and fish laid on it, and bread.
Jesus said to them: Bring some of the
fish which you have just caught.
Simon Peter went up and dragged the
net to land, full of large fish, one
hundred and fifty-three; and
although there were so many, the
net had not broken.
Jesus said to them: Come and eat
breakfast.
Yet none of the Disciples dared ask
Him: Who art Thou? - knowing that
it was the Lord.
Jesus then came and took the bread and
gave it to them, and likewise the
fish.
This is now the third time Jesus
showed Himself to His Disciples
after He was raised from the dead.
