Faithful Catholics pray their rosary every day, and the Apostles Creed begins the rosary so it could not possibly be more relevant - it is part of their daily prayer.

Where can you find the full text of the apostles' creed?

The Apostles' Creed can be found in Wikipedia (both the Latin and English translation), and also on the website of Christianity Today. There are slightly different versions of the Apostles' Creed depending on the particular denomination. There is also a reading of the Apostles' Creed on YouTube.


Why is the Nicene creed important to Catholics?

The Apostles Creed explains the beliefs of most Christians, as to Jesus and his mission. Not every church or denomination uses or follows the creed.


Who wrote the Apostles' Creed?

Exactly who wrote the creed is unknown. Many believe it was written by the 12 apostles themselves, but this is probably not true. The original creed developed from simpler texts and was perhaps merged with some phrases from the Bible itself. It underwent many alterations and versions by various authors before today's was settled on. The earliest copy of the modern creed is from between 710 and 714 BCE, in France (during Charlemagne's rule) and it is held that this version dates from around the latter 5th century, but no earlier.


What apostle wrote which line of the Apostle's Creed?

There is no credible evidence that any Apostle wrote any particular lines of the Apostle's Creed. The creed itself is considered to have been written around 140 AD and so, although ancient, it was not written when any of the Apostles were still alive. What it most certainly does embody is the details of the faith which the Apostles believed and which Christians today still follow. In that sense it is worthy of its name.

Why is the creed important today?

The Apostle's Creed is both an affirmation of what Christians believe today, but also a connection we share with all Christians in the eternal church. The Creed we recite today is the same creed that was recited a thousand years ago. The thought of that connection in Christ is breath taking. The Apostle's Creed is a prayer that very well summarizes the entire faith of the members of the Catholic church. It is important because by reciting the prayer often, it reminds Catholics what they believe in exactly. It also is important because, as a prayer, it reinforces your belief as you say it to God. It was required in the earlier Church to be memorized and recited by Catechumens before admission to baptism.

Why do Catholics celebrate the saints?

Catholics recognize the saints because they were martyrs, who did great things. Some of them died for their faith. Many saints are recognized by the type of deeds they did while alive. The apostles are recognized as saints because they were Jesus' followers and preached the word of God. Many Catholics look to saints for guidance as they were human, and were susceptible to the same human flaws as the followers of Christ in today's age.
