Paragraph 3. THE MYSTERIES OF CHRIST’S LIFE
512
Concerning Christ’s life the Creed speaks only about the mysteries of the
Incarnation (conception and birth) and Paschal mystery (passion, crucifixion,
death, burial, descent into hell, resurrection and ascension). It says nothing
explicitly about the mysteries of Jesus’ hidden or public life, but the
articles of faith concerning his Incarnation and Passover do shed light on the
whole of his earthly life. “All that Jesus did and taught, from the beginning
until the day when he was taken up to heaven”,171 is to be seen in
the light of the mysteries of Christmas and Easter.
