The Apostles' Creed was written to summarize the core beliefs of Christianity and serve as a statement of faith for early Christians.

The Apostles' Creed was written in the early centuries of Christianity, likely in the 4th or 5th century.

The creed has been used in Christian worship and teaching for centuries and is considered a foundational document in Christian history.
Sacred tradition in the Catholic Church holds great significance as it is believed to be the teachings and practices passed down from the apostles and early Christians. It complements and enriches the written Scriptures, providing a deeper understanding of the faith and guiding the Church in matters of doctrine and worship. This tradition is considered essential for maintaining the unity and continuity of the Church throughout history.
