Eastern Orthodoxy

Eastern Orthodoxy is one of the oldest branches of Christianity, rooted in the traditions and teachings of the early Church. It emphasizes the importance of the sacraments, such as baptism and communion, and maintains a rich liturgical life characterized by prayer, fasting, and feasting. The Orthodox Church values the decisions of the ecumenical councils and holds to the authority of both Scripture and sacred tradition. It has a decentralized structure, with national churches led by bishops. Unity with God, community, and the practice of love are central to its faith and teachings.
