Credo is a novel by British author and broadcaster Melvyn Bragg, published in 1996. An epic story of the Christian faith set in 7th-century Britain, it centers on the life of a young Celtic Princess torn between her dedication to God's service and her love for Padric, a Prince of Rheged. Set against the background of venerated Church figures of the period, notably St Cuthbert, St Wilfrid and Hilda of Whitby , Bega (i.e. St Bee) experiences all the violence and deprivations of her age.
It appeared in the USA with the title The Sword and the Miracle.
