Sign of the Cross

The prayer

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

About this prayer

The Sign of the Cross is the oldest and shortest Christian prayer — a confession of the Trinity traced on the body. It opens and closes almost every act of prayer in the Catholic and Orthodox traditions.

The Latin original

In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.
