Divine, All Blessed Symbol, as if God

Himself had written it. Therein they
lucidly and most truly Teach that the
Logos is Without Beginning, and of
One Essence with the One Who
Engendered Him.
Teaching thus,
these famous and truly happy Godly
minded men are clearly faithfully
following that which the Apostles
taught.

Blessed

art Thou, O Lord, the God of

our Fathers.

When

the foremost Preachers of the

Gospel Dogmas and Pious Orthodox
Traditions of Christ received within
themselves the Enlightenment and
Divine Radiance of the Holy Spirit,
they declared the Supernatural
Oracle openly to be their opinion
Inspired by God, the Creed, in
phraseology concise, while sublime
in significance.
Clearly these
Enlightened
and
Blessed
men,
receiving from
on
High this
Revelation, promulgated the decision
taught by God.

Justifiably, they drove out with the

themselves to be True Servants of
