    Nicene Creed

    The Symbolum Nicaenum, or Nicene Creed, has a complex history.


    It was first promulgated at the Council of Nicea (325), though in an
    abbreviated form from what we have below. St. Athanasius
    attributes its composition to the Papal Legate to the Council,
    Hossius of Cordova. The Creed is also sometimes called the Nicene-
    Constantinoplian Creed since it appears in the Acts of the Council
    of Constantinople (381), but it is clear that this Council is not the
    source of that composition for it appears in complete form in the
    Ancoratus of Epiphanius of Salamis some seven years earlier in
    374. In any case, it was this text that appears in the Acts of the
    Council of Constantinople that was formally promulgated at
    Chalcedon in 451 and has come down to us as our present Nicene
    Creed.

    It was at the councils of Nicea and Constantinople that the true


    nature of Jesus was defended against two heresies that had sprung
    up. The Arians denied Christ's divinity and the Monophysites
    denied Christ's humanity. The councils, drawing upon the
    traditions handed down to them from the Apostles, condemned
    both heresies and declared that Jesus was indeed both true God
    and true man. In the 11th century this creed became part of the
    Mass. A partial indulgence is granted to the faithful who recite the
    Symbolum Nicaenum.
