The '''Apostles' Creed''' is a [[Christian]] statement of [[faith]], used by almost all Christians of many denominations.
Its origin is disputed. A tradition in the [[Middle Ages]] held that after [[Pentecost]], under the inspiration of the [[Holy Spirit]], each of the twelve [[apostles]] spoke one of the articles (the Creed is divided into 12 articles). Other stories claim that the apostles wrote it. These explanations are considered unlikely, and a more accepted claim is that it developed in 5th century Gaul from the Old Roman Symbol, an earlier creed shorter than but similar to the Apostles' Creed.
The Apostles' Creed is less detailed than the [[Nicene Creed]], and may be more acceptable to non-[[Trinity|Trinitarian]] Christians, or even to those who deny the divinity of [[Christ]].
