The Nicene Creed (Greek: or , Latin: ''ラテン語:Symbolum Nicaenum'') is a profession of faith widely used in Christian liturgy. It is called Nicene because it was originally adopted in the city of Nicaea (present day Iznik, Turkey) by the First Council of Nicaea in 325.〔''Readings in the History of Christian Theology'' by William Carl Placher 1988 ISBN 0-664-24057-7 pages 52–53〕 In 381, it was amended at the First Council of Constantinople, and the amended form is referred to as the Nicene or the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed. The churches of Oriental Orthodoxy use this profession of faith with the verbs in the original plural ("we believe") form. The Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church use it with the verbs of believing changed to the singular ("I believe") form. The Anglican Communion and many Protestant denominations also use it, sometimes with the verbs of believing in the plural form but generally in the singular. The Apostles' Creed is also used in the Latin West, but not in the Eastern liturgies.〔http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04479a.htm〕 On Sundays and some other days, one or other of these two creeds is recited in the Roman Rite Mass after the homily. The Nicene Creed is also part of the profession of faith required of those undertaking important functions within the Catholic Church.〔(Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, "Profession of Faith" )〕〔(Code of Canon Law, canon 833 )〕 In the Byzantine Rite, the Nicene Creed is sung or recited at the Divine Liturgy, immediately preceding the Anaphora (Eucharistic Prayer), and is also recited daily at compline.〔() "Archbishop Averky Liturgics – The Small Compline", Retrieved 2013-04-14〕〔() "Archbishop Averky Liturgics – The Symbol of Faith", Retrieved 2013-04-14〕 == Nomenclature == There are several designations for the two forms of the Nicene creed, some with overlapping meanings: * Nicene Creed or the Creed of Nicaea is used to refer to the original version adopted at the First Council of Nicaea (325), to the revised version adopted by the First Council of Constantinople (381), to the Latin version that includes the phrase "Deum de Deo" and "Filioque",〔This version is called the Nicene Creed in (Catholic Prayers, ) (Creeds of the Catholic Church, ) (Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Brisbane ), etc.〕 and to the Armenian version, which does not include "and from the Son", but does include "God from God" and many other phrases.〔What the Armenian Church calls the Nicene Creed is given in the (Armenian Church Library, ) (St Leon Armenian Church, ) (Armenian Diaconate ), etc.]〕 * Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed can stand for the revised version of Constantinople (381) or the later Latin version〔For instance, "Instead of the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed, especially during Lent and Easter time, the baptismal Symbol of the Roman Church, known as the Apostles' Creed, may be used" (in the Roman Rite ) ((Roman Missal, Order of Mass, 19). )〕 or various other versions.〔(Philip Schaff, The New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge, Vol. III: article ''Constantinopolitan Creed'' ) lists eight creed-forms calling themselves Niceno-Constantinopolitan or Nicene.〕 * Icon/Symbol of the Faith is the usual designation for the revised version of Constantinople 381 in the Orthodox churches, where this is the only creed used in the liturgy. * Profession of Faith of the 318 Fathers refers specifically to the version of Nicea 325 (traditionally, 318 bishops took part at the First Council of Nicea). * Profession of Faith of the 150 Fathers refers specifically to the version of Constantinople 381 (traditionally, 150 bishops took part at the First Council of Constantinople). In musical settings, particularly when sung in Latin, this Creed is usually referred to by its first word, ''Credo''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nicene Creed」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
