Summary/Abstract: Sedulius compiled his New Testament biblical epic Easter Song around the middle of the fifth century as a synthesis of the four canonical Gospels, from which he selected almost exclusively the miracles of Christ. Based on this, it can be concluded that his intention was to present Christ as an almighty miracle worker, thereby confirming his divine nature. This is also reflected in the dogmatic digression at the end of the first book, which presents the Trinitarian theology of the Councils of Nicaea and Constantinople and condemns the heterodoxy of Arius and Sabellius. We would like to analyze in more detail the significance of this digression for the content of the entire poem, but also the possibilities offered by the theological teachings of the ecumenical councils, contained or absent in this poem, for reflections on the author, the time and the environment of the composition of this work.
