The ecumenical councils were a series of meetings of the heads of the orthodox faith to judge the basic and not so basic beliefs of the religion. There was a total of eight meetings spanning over 400 years, the first one was held 325 A.D in Asia Minor the last one was held in 787 A.D in Asia Minor.
During the time of the Ecumenical Councils their were saints known as the Defenders of Orthodoxy who fought for the beliefs of the orthodox religion. These saints are considered to be equal to the apostles which is one of the highest honors bestowed upon a saint.
