Catechesis in the last weeks of the Lent were dedicated to that question. These catechesis were related to the solemn rites of <em>traditio Symboli </em>and <em>redditio Symboli</em>. Catechumens were obliged to remember <em>Symbol </em>but they could have neither put it down nor discussed it, nor even recited it. Some bishops forbade even to discuss about the catechesis. Catechumens were very often reminded to keep the secret, and this question was emphasized. In this article the duty of keeping the secret is analyzed in the context of <em>disci­plina aracni </em>which was practiced in catechesis of 4th and 5th century.</p> ER -
