Eastern Orthodoxy
Eastern Orthodoxy refers to the branch of Christianity that developed in the Eastern Roman Empire and is characterized by its adherence to traditional beliefs and practices established by the early Christian church. It is known for its rich liturgical worship, elaborate iconography, and emphasis on mysticism and spiritual growth. Eastern Orthodoxy is comprised of several autocephalous (self-governing) churches, including the Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, and Serbian Orthodox churches. The theology of Eastern Orthodoxy is based on the Nicene Creed and the seven ecumenical councils, and it places a strong emphasis on the unity of the Trinity, the Incarnation of Christ, and the sacraments.
