Easter Orthodoxy
Easter Orthodoxy refers to the branch of Christianity that is based on the teachings and traditions of the early Christian Church, particularly in the Eastern Roman Empire. It is characterized by its adherence to the Nicene Creed, the authority of the seven Ecumenical Councils, and the importance of tradition and liturgy. Easter Orthodoxy places a strong emphasis on the sacraments, particularly the Eucharist, and the veneration of saints and icons. The Eastern Orthodox Church is made up of several autocephalous (self-governing) churches, each led by a patriarch or other hierarchical structure. Easter Orthodoxy is distinct from Roman Catholicism and Protestantism in its theology, liturgy, and ecclesiology.
