| Definition: |

indicating provenance of Holy Spirit: used in the Nicene Creed to indicate that in the Holy Trinity, the Holy Spirit stems from both the Father and the Son. Since the Eastern Church never accepted this doctrine, it was one of the main causes of the Great Schism between the Eastern and Western Churches in 1054.
