[[Image:NiceneCreed.jpg|right|frame|The Creed in mosaic at [[Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral (New York, New York)]]]]{{liturgy}}The '''Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed''' (also called the '''Nicene Creed''', the '''Symbol of Faith''', the '''Pistevo''', or simply the '''Creed''') is that creed formulated at the [[First Ecumenical Council|First]] and [[Second Ecumenical Council|Second]] [[Ecumenical Councils]]. It was defined by the [[Church Fathers|Holy Fathers]] of those first two councils (held in [[Nicea ]] and Constantinople, respectively) to combat various [[heresy|heresies]] : notably [[Arianism]], Appolinarianism[[Apollinarianism]], [[Macedonianism ]] (also called Pneumatomachianism), and [[Chiliasm]].

Some scholars believe that the Creed promulgated by the [[First Ecumenical Council ]] was based on an earlier baptismal creed used in Palestine(the Apostles' Creed), while others regard its more likely origin as being a creed issued early in 325 A.D. in Antioch, a so-called "[[Syrian Creed]]."

''And in one [[Lord ]] Jesus Christ, the Son of God, begotten froom from the Father, only-begotten, that is, from the essence of the Father, God from God, light from light, true God from true God, begotten not made, of one essence with the Father, through Whom all things came into being, things in heaven and things on earth, Who because of us men and because of our salvation came down and became incarnate, becoming man, suffered and rose again on the third day, ascended to the heavens, and will come again to judge the living and the dead;''

''We believe in one [[God]], the [[God the Father|Father ]] Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible;''

''And in one Lord [[Jesus Christ]], the Son of God, the Only-begotten, Begotten of the Father before all worldsages, Light of Light, Very God of Very God, Begotten, not made; of one essence with the Father, by whom all things were made:''

''Who for us men and for our [[salvation ]] came down from heaven, and was incarnate of the [[Holy Spirit ]] and the [[Theotokos|Virgin Mary]], and was [[Incarnation|made man]];''

''And the third day He [[resurrection|rose ]] again, according to the [[Holy Scripture|Scriptures]];''

''And [[ascension|ascended ]] into heaven, and sitteth sits at the right hand of the Father;''

''And He shall come again with glory to [[Sunday of the Last Judgment|judge ]] the quick living and the [[death|dead]], Whose kingdom shall have no end.''

''And we believe in the [[Holy Spirit]], the Lord, and Giver of Life, Who proceedeth proceeds from the Father, Who with the Father and the Son together is [[Worship|worshipped ]] and glorified, Who spake spoke by the Prophets[[Prophet]]s;''

''And we believe in [[One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church|one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church]].''

''We acknowledge one [[Baptism ]] for the remission of sins[[sin]]s.''

''And the Life of the world age to come. Amen.''
