With elegant typography, scrollwork, and icons drawn from early Church tradition, this poster is a powerful catechetical tool and a daily reminder of what the Church believes, teaches, and professes.
Short History:
The Nicene Creed was born out of the early Church’s battle against heresy—particularly Arianism, which denied the full divinity of Jesus Christ. In 325 AD, the Council of Nicaea, led by bishops like St. Alexander and defended by future Church Fathers like St. Athanasius, affirmed that Jesus is “true God from true God, begotten not made, consubstantial with the Father.”
This creed was expanded at the Council of Constantinople in 381 AD to clarify the role of the Holy Spirit and solidify the Church’s profession of the Trinity. Today, Catholics around the world recite it every Sunday at Mass as a profession of faith.
