I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth;
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the
Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried; He descended into hell, the third
day He rose again from the dead, He ascended into Heaven, and is
seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty. From thence He
shall come 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 life
everlasting. Amen.
For an explanation of the term “descended into hell,” see
paragraphs 631-637 of the “Catechism of the Catholic Church.” For
a complete explanation of the Apostles’ Creed, see paragraphs
198-1065.
