The Athanasian Creed
As Trinity Sunday approaches on June 15, let’s take a look at the Athanasian Creed. The Athanasian Creed is one of the three ecumenical creeds confessed by the Western Church and is found along with the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed at the beginning of our Lutheran Book of Concord. The primary focus of the Athanasian Creed is to teach and confess what the Church believes about the doctrine of the Trinity.
Wear Red for Pentecost
On the weekend of June 7-8, the Day of Pentecost (fifty days of Easter and ten days after the Ascension), the clergy wear red vestments to signify the work of the Spirit. It is also a custom in many churches for the people in the congregation to wear red on the Day of Pentecost as well. We invite you to wear red on Pentecost Sunday to remind us of the fire of the Spirit.
