The Archdiocese of Nicaea (/naɪˈsiːə/ ny-SEE-ə; Greek: Νίκαια, romanized: Níkaia, pronounced [ˈnicea]) is a presently sede vacante titular archdiocese of the Latin Church in the Catholic Church. Historically associated with the territorial episcopal see in the Bithynian city of Nicaea (now İznik, Turkey), the city which hosted the Councils of Nicaea which resulted in multiple infallible statements and the creation of the now famous Nicene Creed which is recited at every Mass, Divine Liturgy, and Holy Qurbana.[2]
