| - | '''Frankish mythology''' comprises the mythology of the [[Franks]], from its roots in polytheistic [[Germanic paganism]] through the inclusion of [[Greek mythology|Greco]]-[[Roman mythology|Roman]] components in the [[Early Middle Ages]]. This mythology flourished among the Franks until the conversion of the [[Merovingian]] king [[Clovis I]] to [[Nicene Creed|Nicene Christianity]] (circa 500), though there were many Frankish Christians before that. After that, their paganism was gradually replaced by the process of [[Germanic Christianity|Christianisation]], but there were still pagans in the Frankish heartland of [[Toxandria]] in the late seventh century. | + | |

The Nicene Creed (Latin: Template:Lang) is the creed or profession of faith (Greek: Template:Lang) that is most widely used in Christian liturgy. It is called Nicene (Template:PronEng) because, in its original form, it was adopted in the city of Nicaea by the first ecumenical council, which met there in 325.
It is given high importance in the Eastern Orthodox Church, Assyrian Church of the East, Oriental Orthodox churches, the Roman Catholic Church, including the Eastern Catholic Churches, the Old Catholic Church and its offshoots, the Lutheran Church, the Anglican Communion, and almost all branches of Protestantism, including the Reformed churches, the Presbyterian Church, and the Methodist Church.
