Eastern Orthodoxy is a branch of 
Christianity that upholds apostolic succession, 
Sacred Tradition alongside Scripture, theosis (deification), veneration of icons, the real presence of 
Christ in the Eucharist, 
Trinitarian belief in the Spirit's procession from the 
Father alone, and conciliar governance rejecting 
papal supremacy. He is practiced mainly in 
Greece and 
Russia. He uses the autocephalous system, meaning every nation has their own, autonomous patriarch.
History
The Eastern Orthodox branch traces his origins to Jesus Christ and the Apostles, particularly through the 
early Christian communities established in the eastern provinces of the 
Roman Empire. The 
Pentarchy, the five major patriarchates of Christianity (
Rome, 
Constantinople, 
Alexandria, Antioch, and 
Jerusalem), governed the early Church.
