This day recalls the ancient rite of the Delivery (Traditio) of the Symbol of faith (the text of the Credo, synthesis of the entire Christian faith) to the Catechumens, so that they could learn it by heart and thus express their profession of faith before receiving Baptism on Easter night.
During the Vigil in Traditione Symboli, which represents the diocesan celebration of World Youth Day, the Archbishop meets young people in Duomo and renews the rite of the Delivery of the Credo to Catechumens, who will receive the Christian Sacraments of Initiation at Easter.
