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]], [[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]]."
'''In English:'''
''We believe in one [[faith|believeGod]] in one God, the [[God the Father|Father]] Almighty, [[creation|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 was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried;''
''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 [[Second coming|come again]] with glory to [[judgementSunday 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 [[Prophet]]s;''
''And we believe in [[One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church|one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church]].''
''We look for the Resurrection of the dead,''
''And the [[Eternal Life|Life]] of the world age to come. Amen.''
Ἀμήν.
