THE NICEAN CREED

"I BELIEVE in God the Father, Almighty, maker of Heaven and Earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried. He desc-ended into Hell. The third day He arose again and ascended into Heaven to sit at the right hand of God. From thence, He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Holy world-wide Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen."
