The Eastern Orthodox Church, officially the Orthodox Catholic Church, also referred to as the Orthodox Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Orthodoxy, is the second largest Christian Church in the world, with an estimated 225–300 million adherents.
The Eastern Orthodox Church is one of the oldest religious institutions in the world, teaching that it is the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church established by Jesus Christ in his Great Commission to the apostles, and practicing what it understands to be the original faith passed down from the Apostles.
United in communion with the Latin Church before the East–West Schism in 1054, and with the Oriental churches for the first quarter of its history, Eastern Orthodoxy spread throughout the Roman and later Byzantine Empires and beyond, playing a prominent role in European, Near Eastern, Slavic, and some African cultures. Its most prominent episcopal see is Constantinople.
Eastern Orthodoxy has no Papacy or similar authority, but instead teaches that all bishops are equal by virtue of their ordination, and each autocephalous church is typically governed by a Holy Synod. This is one of the main reasons for the division between the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. The commonly-used but unofficial designation "Eastern" derives from the geographical location of the main centers of Orthodoxy in relation to the "Western" churches (now known as the Roman Catholic Church), and from Constantinople being the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire.
Presbytera Irene Matta MTh presents the Orthodox Christian Faith which has existed by the grace of the Holy Spirit, from Pentecost until today. The Orthodox Christian Church History is hidden in false names like "Byzantine", instead of the continued presence of the Eastern Roman Empire far beyond the fall of Old Rome in Italy. Europe longed to be called "Roman" and "Catholic" - neither of which describes the Frankish Warrior Institution which forces the false pagan teachings of Original "guilt", false incarnation from "immaculate conception" of the virgin, etc. Sources like Dr. Romanides, Dr. Metallinos, and ARchbishop Lazar will lead us to the full history of East and West, with Holy Orthodoxy from apostles explained.

This is a video that shows what the inside of a Byzantine Catholic Church looks like. Catholic churches typically tend to use sculptures more than icons whereas Orthodox Christian churches tend to use icons more than sculptures. Therefore, this is an example of how religious institutions can be unique in their own way. This video was made inside the Annunciation Byzantine Catholic Church located in Homer Glen, IL. How many people do you know who attend a Byzantine Catholic Church?

Catherine Alexander speaks with Father Moses of Holy Resurrection Romanian Catholic Monastery in Newberry Springs, CA about fasting in the church year. Questions Asked: 1) Food is an important part of any culture and the Church shows its understanding of this by putting food into its proper perspective on its calendar of fasts and feasts. Will you explain the Church's view of food and why we fast? 2) The current Eastern Catholic calendars are pretty far from the strictest historical calendars. It isn't uncommon to find a cradle and a convert clashing over which fasting guidelines are necessary or traditional. What role should the historical calendars play in our personal decisions? 3) There are a number of products on the market for vegetarians like soy, rice, oat and almond milk...

This hymn has been attributed to a few different early church hymnographers, but what we do know is that is the first church "hymn" written that we still have records of, in the more traditional understanding of what a hymn is. Both the melody and the words are anywhere between 1500-1900 years old. This is chanted in English, using inclusive language. Enjoy!

Byzantine aesthetic thought is re-evaluated against late antique Neoplatonism and the writings of Pseudo-dionysius that offer fundamental paradigms for the late antique attitude towards art and beauty.

Get a free copy of the full audiobook and ebook: http://appgame.space/mabk/30/en/B00GA22T9C/book This book examines the interchange of architecture and ritual in the Middle and Late Byzantine churches of Constantinople (ninth to fifteenth centuries). It employs archaeological and archival data, hagiographic and historical sources, liturgical texts and commentaries, and monastic typika and testaments to integrate the architecture of the medieval churches of Constantinople with liturgical and extra-liturgical practices and their continuously evolving social and cultural context. The book argues against the approach that has dominated Byzantine studies: that of functional determinism, the view that architectural form always follows liturgical function. Instead, proceeding chapter by chapter t...

This complex and colorful system of images covers the walls and vaults of churches with figures and compositions seen against a dazzling gold ground. The surviving eleventh-century churches with their wall and vault mosaics largely intact, Hosios Loukas, Nea Moni and Daphni in Greece, pose the challenge of how, when and where this complex and gloriously conceived system was created.using an interdisciplinary approach, Connor explores the urban culture and context of church-building in Constantinople, capital of the Byzantine Empire, during the century following the end of Iconoclasm, of around 843 to 950....

Animation and Stills of my original architectural design for what would be the largest scale Orthodox Church in the World. The typology of my original architectural creation is influenced in part by late Eastern Byzantine themes and latter Western Romanesque architecture of the high middle ages, hence the Neo-Byzantine character. My interpretation of the octagonal central-domed buttress resting on a sea of ornate semi-domes/lesser domes, gives a sense of harmony and weightlessness both in the interior and exterior. Everything in my architectural design including every single one of the hundreds of Corinthian columns and domes are designed totally from scratch by myself, using high frequency polygons for accuracy and unsurpassed detail. The couple of icons alone internally are historical pa...
