The Symbol of Faith of Orthodox Christians (Nicene Creed)
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker
of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible: And in one Lord
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Only-begotten, Begotten of the Father before
all ages, Light of Light, True God of True God, Begotten, not made; of one
essence with the Father, by whom all things were made: Who for us men and for
our salvation came down from the heavens, and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit
and the Virgin Mary, and became man; And was crucified for us under Pontius
Pilate, and suffered and was buried; And rose again on the third day, according
to the Scriptures; And ascended into the heavens, and sitteth at the right hand
of the Father; And shall come again, with glory, to judge both the living and
the dead, Whose kingdom shall have no end. And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord,
the Giver of Life, Who proceedeth from the Father, Who with the Father and the
Son together is worshiped and glorified, Who spake by the Prophets; In One Holy
Catholic and Apostolic Church. I Confess one Baptism for the remission of sins.
I look for the Resurrection of the dead, And the life of the age to come, Amen.

Prayer in Honor of Christ's Passion
I give you glory, O Christ, because you, the Only-begotten, the
Lord of all, underwent the death of the Cross to free my sinful soul
from the bonds of sin. What shall I give to you, O Lord, in return for
all this kindness?
Glory to you, O Lord, for your love, for your mercy, for your patience....
Glory to you, for forgiving us all our sins, for coming to save our souls, for your incarnation in the Virgin's womb.
Glory to you, for your bonds, for receiving the cut of the lash, for accepting mockery.
Glory to you, for your crucifixion, for your burial, for your resurrection.
Glory to you, for your resurrection, for being preached to men, for being taken up heaven.
Glory to you who sit at the Father's right hand and will return in glory.
Glory to you for willing that the sinner be saved through your great mercy and compassion.
St Ephrem of Syria, Deacon, Poet and Doctor
