-the Second Council of Nicaea is recognized as the last of the first 7 “ecumenical councils” by the ‘Eastern Orthodox Church’ and the ‘Roman Catholic Church’-
(in addition, it is also recognized as such by the ‘Old Catholics’ and others)
(protestant opinions on it are varied)
(it met in AD 787 in Nicaea (site of the First Council of Nicaea; present-day ฤฐznik in Turkey) to restore the use and veneration of icons (or, holy images), which had been suppressed by imperial edict inside the Byzantine Empire during the reign of ‘Leo III’ (717โ741))
(his son, ‘Constantine V’ (741โ775), had held the ‘Council of Hieria’ to make the suppression official)
