The bishops convened the First Council of Nicea (the better known of the two) in 325 AD at the request of Emperor Constantine, who had legalized Christianity not long before with the Edict of Milan. This council condemned the Arian heresy, which taught that Jesus was not God, but a superhuman entity created by God. The Second Council of Nicea, which particularly fought Iconoclasm (the destruction of icons) was convened in 787 AD.
