There exist also the Apostles' Creed and the Athanasian Creed, but the Eastern Orthodox Church only uses the Nicene Creed during its services.
In the Catholic Church the Nicene Creed is primarily used during Mass. However, the Apostles' Creed is sometimes substituted, especially for a children's Mass. The Apostles' Creed is used most frequently in daily prayers, such as the rosary.
The Athanasian Creed is extremely long and almost never used except as an historical reference.

Should the Nicene Creed be recited for a valid liturgy?
Yes, because it is a sum up of the faith. However note : There are other creeds the original Nicene creed without the addition of the Filioque is recited in all Eastern churches and can be recited in Western churches but the Nicene creed with the addition of the Filoque is the main creed for the Western churches. There are two other creeds, the Apostles Creed which is sometimes said at Mass and the Athanasian Creed. The Nicene Creed is said only at Sunday Mass and on Holy Days of Obligation. It need not be said at daily Mass unless the priest or congregation prefers to do so.
Why is the Nicene Creed sometimes translated using 'We Believe's and other times with 'I believe's?
The Apostle's Creed starts with "I believe" and the Nicene Creed with "We believe". After Vatican II, we recited the Nicene Creed using "we" since our faith is a community relation to God rather than a personal one. We are a community of believers. I believe that the "I believe" will be reverted to in the new translation next year.
Why was the Apostles' Creed changed?
The Church didn't change the Apostle's Creed to the Nicene Creed, they are separate Creeds. They are used in different manners.Roman Catholic AnswerThe Apostles Creed is from the very early Church, the substance of the creed is formulated by the apostles, although they probably are not the authors. Originally it was used as an instruction to be memorized by the catechumens before baptism. The Nicene-Constantinople Creed was first formulated at the Council of Nicaea in A.D. 325, then later added to by the Council of Constantinople in 381. It is the creed that has been prescribed for the liturgy for centuries.The Apostles Creed was formerly recited at Prime each day, is used in the Rosary, and other devotions.
Why don't the churches use the creed?
But they do. In most Catholic masses, and certainly in the Anglican Eucharist service (or 'Holy Communion - the Anglican equivalent of the Catholic mass) the Creed is said at each service. usually this is the creed set down by the Council of Nicaea (the 'Nicene Creed') but sometimes the Apostles' Creed is used instead. In most other denominations, the two Creeds above are not often used, but a brief statement of faith is used instead. As for the Athanasian Creed, I cannot be sure what Catholics do here, but in many Anglican Churches, as this creed is primarily to do with the doctrine of the Trinity, it is often recited on Trinity Sunday.
Why do you say the Nicene Creed?
One bows one's head at the mention of Jesus' name as we are commanded to "bow the head at the name of God"; one bows (the upper body) at the incarnation "and was made man" out of respect for Our Blessed Savior coming to be one of us. This replaces the genuflection that was previously made at this point and is now only made on the Annuniation and at Christmas.

What is the creed the formal summary of christian beliefs?
The creed of True Christianity would be the Nicene Creed with its interpretation as understood by the Catholic Church. All other "interpretations of the "creed" outside the Church are false as the terms therein have been "reinterpreted" to suit heretical views"Our profession of faith begins with God, for God is the First and the Last, the beginning and the end of everything. The Credo begins with God the Father, for the Father is the first divine person of the Most Holy Trinity; our Creed begins with the creation of heaven and earth, for creation is the beginning and the foundation of all God's works."---the Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 198Catholic belief is succinctly expressed in the profession of faith or credo called the Nicene Creed:I believe in one God,the Father almighty,maker of heaven and earth,of all things visible and invisible.I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,the Only Begotten Son of God,born of the Father before all ages.God from God, Light from Light,true God from true God,begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;through him all things were made.For us men and for our salvationhe came down from heaven,and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,and became man.For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,he suffered death and was buried,and rose again on the third dayin accordance with the Scriptures.He ascended into heavenand is seated at the right hand of the Father.He will come again in gloryto judge the living and the deadand his kingdom will have no end.I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,who proceeds from the Father and the Son,who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,who has spoken through the prophets.I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sinsand I look forward to the resurrection of the deadand the life of the world to come.

How are the Apostles' Creed and Nicene Creed similar to yet different from each other?
They are very similar. In fact, the Nicene creed is essentially a lengthened version of the Apostles' creed containing everything that the Apostles' creed has in it. There is only one exception where the Apostles' creed has new information: the Apostles' creed states that Jesus descended into the dead before rising in three days whereas the Nicene creed does not mention the descending of Jesus into the dead. Both creeds are used in Masses said around the world as an acceptable prayer that occurs after the Homily at the start of the Liturgy of the Eucharist. It is up to the local Bishop's preference. In the United States, the Nicene creed is used most typically. The Apostles' creed is typically used when saying a Rosary.
What is the creed of the Lutheran Church?
Along with the canonical scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, Lutherans accept the three ancient, ecumenical creeds: The Nicene, Apostles and Athanasian Creeds. They also formally accept the Lutheran Symbolical Books as true expositions of Scripture. The Deutorocanonical books of the Bible are considered good for study and edification, but do not necessarily hold the same doctrinal authority as the other books.
What emperor made Christianity official?
Co-emperors Theodosius I and Gratian issued the Edict of Thessalonica in 380. This made the Nicene Creed (a particular interpretation of the trinity) which was endorsed by mainstream Christianity (Latin or Western Christianity and Greek or Eastern Christianity) the sole legitimate religion of the Roman Empire. The purpose of the edict was to ban dissident Christian doctrines which disputed the Nicene Creed and had alternative interpretations of the trinity. These were branded as heretic. Theodosius I started persecuting them soon afterwards. The main target was Arian Christianity, which the main dissident Christian doctrine and was popular around the empire.The Latin/Western Church and the Greek/Eastern Church were the main church of the western and eastern parts of the empire respectively. They deifned themselves as two branches of one church which was called Catholic Church. The word catholic means all embracing, universal. In other words, these two churches considered themselves as two branches of the Nicene Creed, which they wanted to be the universal creed of Chisitanity , in opposition to the dissident Chisitan creeds. Later there was a schism between these two churches and they came to be called Chatolic Chush and Orthodox Curch.
