orthodox

The Orthodox Church, rooted in the traditions of the early Christian councils, emphasizes the continuity of apostolic teachings and sacred tradition. Centered on the Byzantine Rite, it places great importance on liturgy, icons, and mysticism. The Orthodox faith is led by patriarchs, with the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople holding a primacy of honor.
