| THE NICENE CREED
We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
Eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
He came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
He became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.
For our sake He was crucified
under Pontius Pilate;
H e suffered death and was
buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
He ascended into heaven and is seated
at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to
judge the living and the dead
and His kingdom will have no end.

THE APOSTLE'S CREED
I believe in God, the Father
Almighty,
the Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, His only
Son, our Lord:
Who was conceived of the Holy
Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was
buried.
He descended into hell.
The third day He arose again
from the dead.
He ascended into heaven
and sits at the right hand of God
the
Father Almighty, whence He shall
come to judge
the iving and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy *catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.
Amen.
*catholic means "universal"
