Nestorian Church

The Nestorian Church, also known as the Church of the East, was a Christian denomination that emerged in the early centuries of Christianity, primarily centered in Persia and later spreading to Asia. It is named after Nestorius, a 5th-century bishop who emphasized the distinction between Jesus's divine and human natures. This theological perspective led to debates and eventual separation from other Christian groups. The Nestorian Church developed its own liturgy and traditions, thriving along major trade routes like the Silk Road. It played a key role in spreading Christianity into Central Asia, India, and China, maintaining a unique Eastern Christian identity.
