The Apostles' Creed

The next three windows tell the story of the Church's confession and defense of the Triune God through the Ecumenical or Universal Christian Creeds. The first is THE APOSTLES’ CREED, depicted by a green cross (typifying the living faith of the Christian) mounted on a red shield of faith. Red is the color of the church, the color of confession. Underneath is inscribed the first phrase of the Creed, "I believe".

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.

And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting.

Amen.
