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.
