The Greek Orthodox Church

The Greek Orthodox Church is one of the oldest Christian traditions, rooted in the teachings of Jesus and the early Christian communities of the Eastern Roman Empire. It emphasizes heritage, liturgy, and doctrine preserved through centuries of tradition. The church is organized as a communion of independent churches, with the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople recognized as a spiritual leader. Worship is characterized by beautiful, ancient rituals, icons, and chant. The Greek Orthodox Church champions community, saints, and sacraments like baptism and communion, fostering deep spiritual connections rooted in history and theology while maintaining a distinct identity within Christianity.
