Apostles' Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit,
and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven.
And he's seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to Judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen

Nicene Creed
We believe in God the Father, the Almighty.
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Son of God,
eternally begotten and not made
God from God, Light from Light
True God from True God
Through him all things were made
For us men and for our salvation
He came down from heaven
by the power of the Holy Spirit
and became incarnate of the virgin Mary
for our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate
He suffered death and was buried
On the third day he rose again
In accordance to the scriptures
He ascended into heaven
and he is seated at the right hand of the father
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end
We believe in the Holy Spirit
the Lord the giver of life
Who proceeds from the father and the son
With the father and the son he is worshipped and glorified
He has spoken through the prophets
We believe in one catholic and apostolic church
we acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins
We look for the resurrection of the death
and the life of the world to come

Whosoever will be saved,
before all things it is necessary that he hold the Catholic Faith.
Which Faith except everyone do keep whole and undefiled,
without doubt he shall perish everlastingly.

And the Catholic Faith is this:
That we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity,
neither confounding the Persons,
nor dividing the Substance. For there is one Person of the Father,
another of the Son, and another of the Holy Ghost.
But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost, is all one, the Glory equal, the Majesty co-eternal.
Such as the Father is, such is the Son, and such is the Holy Ghost.

The Father uncreate, the Son uncreate, and the Holy Ghost uncreate.
The Father incomprehensible, the Son incomprehensible,
and the Holy Ghost incomprehensible.
The Father eternal, the Son eternal, and the Holy Ghost eternal.

And yet they are not three eternals, but one eternal.
As also there are not three incomprehensibles, nor three uncreated,
but one uncreated, and one incomprehensible.

So likewise the Father is Almighty, the Son Almighty,
and the Holy Ghost Almighty. And yet they are not three
Almighties, but one Almighty.

So the Father is God, the Son is God,
and the Holy Ghost is God.
And yet they are not three Gods, but one God.
So likewise the Father is Lord, the Son Lord,
and the Holy Ghost Lord. And yet not three Lords, but one Lord.

For like as we are compelled by the Christian verity to acknowledge
every Person by himself to be both God and Lord,
So are we forbidden by the Catholic Religion to say,
There be three Gods, or three Lords.
The Father is made of none, neither created, nor begotten.
The Son is of the Father alone, not made, nor created, but begotten.
The Holy Ghost is of the Father and of the Son,
neither made, nor created, nor begotten, but proceeding.

So there is one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons;
one Holy Ghost, not three Holy Ghosts.
And in this Trinity none is afore, or after other;
none is greater, or less than another; But the whole three Persons
are co-eternal together and co-equal.
So that in all things, as is aforesaid,
the Unity in Trinity and the Trinity in Unity is to be worshipped.
He therefore that will be saved is must think thus of the Trinity.

Furthermore, it is necessary to everlasting salvation that he also
believe rightly the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
For the right Faith is, that we believe and confess,
that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and Man;
God, of the substance of the Father, begotten before the worlds;
and Man of the substance of his Mother, born in the world;
Perfect God and perfect Man,
of a reasonable soul and human flesh subsisting.

Equal to the Father, as touching his Godhead; and inferior to the
Father, as touching his manhood; Who, although he be God and Man,
yet he is not two, but one Christ;
One, not by conversion of the Godhead
into flesh but by taking of the Manhood into God;
One altogether; not by confusion of Substance,
but by unity of Person. For as the reasonable soul
and flesh is one man, so God and Man is one Christ;
Who suffered for our salvation, descended into hell,
rose again the third day from the dead.
He ascended into heaven, he sitteth at the right hand of the Father,
God Almighty, from whence he will come
to judge the quick and the dead.
At whose coming all men will rise again with their bodies
and shall give account for their own works.
And they that have done good shall go into life
everlasting; and they that have done evil into everlasting fire.

This is the Catholic Faith, which except a man believe faithfully,
he cannot be saved

A number of colors in the Anglican Communion are known as liturgical colors these colors are used at different seasons for vestments(garments) and decorative hangings.

Colours accepted by the Anglican Communion are:
1) White
2) Red
3) Violet
4) Green
5) Black
6) Blue
7) Yellow
Although only the first five is preferred in the Church of Nigeria.

White:
This is the color of the Holy Trinity and is associated with purity, joy, innocence and glory.
It is specifically used on Christmas day. Easter day, Blessed Trinity Sunday and St John’s Divine Feast.
It’s multipurpose and can be used in the absence of the appropriate since it associated with Christ’s redemptive work.

RED:
Red is and emblem of matrydom. It features on Whit Sunday(Pentecost) and on the feasts of saints who were martyrs excepting St John’s day.
Special uses may include the consecration of a bishop, the ordination of a priest or deacons and during confirmations although the use of white is entirely permissible.
Green:
Green is a popular color worn between Epiphany and Septuagesima Sunday and between Trinity Sunday and Advent Sunday. It can also be used on all occasions including week days when another color is not prescribed.
