The Orthodox Creed:

We believe in one God, God the Father, the Almighty, creator of the Heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages; Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten not created, of one essence with the Father, by Whom all things were made; Who for us, men, and our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnated of the Holy Spirit and of the Virgin Mary, and became man. And he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, suffered and was buried. And on the third day He arose from the dead, according to the Scriptures, and ascended into the heavens; and sat at the right hand of his Father, and also He is coming again in His glory to judge the living and the dead, whose kingdom has no end.

Yes, we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Life-giver, Who proceeds from the Father, Who, with the Father and the Son, is worshiped and glorified, Who spoke in the prophets. And in one holy, catholic and apostolic church. We confess one baptism for the remission of sins.

We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the coming age. Amen.
