Sacred Tradition

Sacred Tradition refers to the ways a religious community, like the Catholic Church, has passed down beliefs, practices, and teachings through generations. It includes the teachings of Jesus, the apostles, and early Christians, preserved through customs, liturgy, and authoritative statements. Sacred Tradition works alongside Sacred Scripture (the Bible) to guide the faith and moral life of believers. It emphasizes that God's truth is transmitted not only through written texts but also through living practices and oral transmission, ensuring continuity and depth in understanding and practicing the faith across time.
