The '''Athanasian Creed''' (''Quicunque vult'') is a statement of Christian doctrine traditionally ascribed to [[Athanasius of Alexandria|St. Athanasius]], Archbishop of [[Alexandria]], who lived in the 4th century. Some of today's historians believe that it was originally written in Latin, not in Greek, and thus Athanasius cannot have been the original author. There are those that believe its theology is closely akin to that found in the writing of western theologians, especially [[Ambrose of Milan]].
It was designed to overcome [[Arianism]]. Liturgically, this Creed was recited at the Sunday Office of Prime in the Western Church; it is not in common use in the Eastern Church. Today the Athanasian Creed is rarely used even in the Western Church. When used, one common practice is to use it once a year on Trinity Sunday.
#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.
