  1. eastern orthodox

    Eastern Orthodox refers to a Christian denomination that originated in the Eastern Roman Empire. Its theology, traditions, liturgical practices, and organizational structure are distinct from Roman Catholic and Protestant Christianity. Eastern Orthodox Christianity includes several autocephalous churches, such as the Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, and Serbian Orthodox churches, among others. Believers see themselves as maintaining the original Christian faith, as handed down from the apostles, and see their church as a communion of independent bodies who are all equal. Some hallmark characteristics include the veneration of icons, a mystical approach to theology, and a strong emphasis on liturgical worship.
