East Orthodox Church

The Eastern Orthodox Church is a Christian denomination that traces its roots to the earliest Christian traditions, emphasizing unwavering adherence to the original teachings and practices. It is characterized by its liturgical worship, which includes rich rituals, icons, and chanting, and its governance through autocephalous (independent) churches led by bishops. The Orthodox Church values tradition, the sacraments, and maintaining unity through shared doctrines, councils, and heritage. It primarily thrives in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and parts of Africa and Asia, maintaining a spiritual continuity that links modern believers with the earliest Christian communities.
