Anniversary in Lienz: 1700 Years of Nicea Celebrate and discover!

This year is reminded of a historical event that decisively shaped the foundations of Christianity: the first Council of Nicea, which took place 1700 years ago. Organized by Emperor Konstantin I in 325 AD in today's İznik, Türkiye, around two thousand bishops, priests and deacons came together to clarify controversial questions of faith. The main topics were the relationship of Jesus Christ and the Father and the wording of the Nicänische Creed. An important decision was to determine that Jesus is "created, not considered, a nature with the father", which is still of great importance, such as ekhn.de reports .

To celebrate this anniversary, an extensive exhibition will take place in the Bruck Castle in Lienz under the title "Looks inside. Nicea". This is organized by the diocesan bishop and his curator Hubert Salden and is intended as an intervention to remember the council. The exhibition, which will be shown from May 29 to mid -October 2025, will present significant contemporary works of art by well -known artists such as Andy Warhol and Hermann Nitsch. According to dolomitenstadt.at , these works are intended to think about fundamental questions of faith and being human, whereby the diocese of Innsbruck plays a central role in funding. This event not only marks an important religious anniversary, but also a cultural highlight in the region.
