im not sure what exactly you are referring to ("point #3 in the document you cited.")

but are you telling me that the council of Nicea had a different viewpoint than the emperor?

and where did easter come from?

did Jesus celebrate easter?

and where did easter come from?

From passover, Exodus 12, changed in light of the Last Supper, Jesus' sacrifice on the cross & resurrection.

Realize the discussions and documents from the council of Nicea did not use the word "Easter", an unfortunately choice of words when translating the text into English.

The word in the original languages used at Nicea was "Paska"(πάσχα greek) or "Pascha"(latin)-- a transliteration of Aramaic form of Hebrew word for Passover.

Jesus spoke Aramaic and possibly a similar sounding word for passover.

I apologize for an earlier error falsely claiming that Nicea voted on the canon of the bible, they didn't.

did Jesus celebrate easter?

And how! He rose from the dead just to be there.
