About Orthodox Christianity

Eastern Orthodoxy, also known as Eastern Orthodox Christianity or Byzantine Christianity, is one of the three main branches of Chalcedonian Christianity, alongside Catholicism and Protestantism. The mainstream Eastern Orthodox Church is organized into autocephalous churches which are independent from each other.
