Nicene Creed: Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed

Nicene Creed: Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed

I believe in one God, the Father Almighty,
maker of Heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible,
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
consubstantial with the Father;
through Him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
He came down from Heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit
was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake He was crucified
under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
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.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and
apostolic Church.
I confess one baptism
for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection
of the dead and the life
of the world to come.
Amen.

Where does the Nicene Creed come from?

It is called the Nicene Creed because it was originally adopted in the city of Nicaea (present day iznik, Turkey) by the First Council of Nicaea in the year 325. In 381, it was amended at the First Council of Constantinople, and the amended form is referred to as the Nicene or the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed.

What is the difference between the Apostles Creed and the Nicene Creed?

The difference between the Apostles Creed and the Nicene Creed is that the Apostles’ Creed is used during Baptism while the Nicene Creed is mainly linked with the death of Jesus Christ. It is recited in the course of Lent and Easter.
