Orthodox Christianity

Orthodox Christianity, often referred to simply as Orthodoxy, is one of the main branches of Christianity, alongside Catholicism and Protestantism. It emphasizes the continuity of Christian faith and practice from the early Church. Orthodox Christians believe in the Holy Trinity and adhere to the teachings of the Bible and the early Church Fathers. The faith is expressed through sacred traditions, rituals, and the liturgy, with a notable emphasis on the sacraments, particularly the Eucharist. The Orthodox Church is organized into various national jurisdictions, such as the Greek and Russian Orthodox churches, each maintaining its own traditions while sharing core beliefs.
