THE NICENE - CONSTANTINOPOLITAN CREED PDF Print E-mail
Written by Subdeacon Charles-Michael   
Wednesday, 27 August 2008 04:02

I believe in one God, the 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 ages, Light of Light, True God of True 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 the heavens, and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became man;

And he was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried;

And on the third day he rose again , according to the Scriptures; and he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father;

And he will come again, with glory, to judge both the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life, Who proceedes from the Father, Who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified, Who has spoken through by the Prophets;

In One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.

I Confess one Baptism for the remission of sins.

I look for the Resurrection of the dead,

And the life of the age to come, Amen.

EXALTATION OF THE HOLY CROSS

Troparion

O LORD, save thy people, and bless thine inheritance. Grant victories to the Orthodox Christians over their adversaries, and by the virtue of thy Cross preserve thy habitation.

Kontakion

O THOU Who wast lifted up willingly on the Cross, bestow Thy mercies upon the new community named after Thee, O Christ God; gladden with Thy power the Orthodox Christians, granting them victory over enemies; may they have as Thy help the weapon of peace, the invincible trophy.

On September 14 Orthodox Christians celebrate three events related to different periods of time. The first of these events was discovering in 326 AC of the Cross on which Jesus Christ had been crucified. The miraculous discovery was made by Empress Helen (mother of Constantine, the Emperor of Byzantine) and by Macarius, the Patriarch of Jerusalem. The second event was the erection of the Church of Lord's Ressurection and installing the Holy Cross of our Lord in it (the date of this holiday was established then). The third event was the return of the Holy Cross from Persia where it had been moved after conquering Jerusalem, and where it had been in imprisonment for 14 years.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

God loves all mankind and desires that all human beings should believe in Him, know Him, abide in Him, and receive eternal life from Him. To accomplish this, God Himself came into the world as a man, Jesus Christ, becoming man that we might become like God. For a fuller statement of the fundamental beliefs of the Orthodox Church, read our statement of faith: The Nicene Creed.

The best way to learn more about the Orthodox Faith is to experience its worship. Join us for Friday evening Vespers, or Divine Liturgy on Sunday mornings. It may well be the start of a spiritual journey from which you will never look back!

Service Schedule:

  • Matins, Sunday at 9:00 am
  • Divine Liturgy, Sunday at 9:30 am
  • Limba română 11:30 am
  • Vespers, Friday at 6:30pm
  • Bible Study, Friday at 7:00pm
