正教会, or the Orthodox Church, is one of the oldest Christian traditions, tracing its roots back to the early Christian communities. It is characterized by its adherence to the teachings of the Apostles and the Church Fathers, emphasizing the importance of sacred traditions alongside the Bible. The Orthodox Church is organized into various autocephalous (independent) churches, each led by a bishop. The Orthodox Church is known for its rich liturgical life, including the celebration of the Divine Liturgy and various sacraments. It places a strong emphasis on community and the importance of the Holy Spirit in guiding the church. The faithful often participate in fasting and prayer, reflecting a deep spiritual commitment.
