The Apostles Creed is an early Christian statement used as a creed or symbol of faith. It was used by a

wide variety of different Christian denominations for both liturgical and catechetical purposes, based on

the understanding of the gospels.

The first mention of the Apostles Creed historically occurs in a letter dating from 390 a.d. from a synod

in Milan, was believed at that time to have been an divinely inspired creed that each of the 12 Apostles

had contributed an article to.
