beautiful love it.

I want to learn Latin, Koine Greek, and Hebrew. and maybe Aramaic.

[catullus471]

go for it! Even mastering the basics will open up a whole new world to you.

Greek in particular. Stick at it,and try and read a little everyday and you'll get the hang of it. Good luck!

[marcustheologus]

thanks a lot for uploading: I'm just learning FORMA RECEPTA ECLESIÆ ORIENTALIS in Latin and Greek, and I have surprised at the itaistic pronunciation! :-) I've never heard before in authentic Greek the Σύμβολον :-) I have learn koine for a year, and I've diceded to learn today Greek

[rowanrox]

Is it that long?

[OMORFI94]

Omg my yaiyai knows this off by heart lol

[squeezetruck]

I'm using your recitation to learn the Ccreed. Thanks for posting this.

[Pteron2]

Or that you're just used to Latin.

[DanVilAl]

Oh, don't dicuss about that. The creed in any language is OK.

[battletoads22]

Yes, but all prayers are better in Latin... though I am a bit biased.

[theo1001]

I believe that the pronouciation is in modern greek

[erwintheimpaler]

They can only guess what the pronunciation was when it was written. It's still used in all Orthodox churches, so to invent a pronunciation of how it might have sounded would be silly.

[4asa]

it was written by Athanasius of Alexandria who at the time was the patraich of Alexandria so it most likely was recited in Coptic the final language of the egyptians

[mihalis15]

The language of the church at the time was Greek. Therefore it was probably written in Greek in the first place.

[4asa]

but St.Athansius was egyptian so wouldnt he write and speak coptic ?

[fidokalman]

No physical evidence to this point. Greek was the lingua franca

[geokonn]

Saint Athanasius was Greek,like the majority of population of Alexandria (which was built by the Greek Alexander the Great and seattled by Greeks in majority).According to the holy tradition of the chirch (synaxaria) he was born by greek parents in Alexandria

[geokonn]

so,a greek by origin,in a mainly greek city,in a world and in church with greek as the "lingua franca" it would be a surprise if wrote something in Coptic...and of course,not him but the Ecumenical Council decide about the Symvolon tis Pisteos (το Σύμβολον της Πίστεως),the Creed

ελεησον ιμας Ο Θεος
