Eastern Christian traditions
Eastern Christian traditions encompass the various practices and beliefs of Christian communities in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and parts of Asia. These traditions are primarily represented by the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Oriental Orthodox Churches, which emphasize the importance of the sacraments, liturgical worship, and the teachings of the early Church Fathers.
A key feature of Eastern Christianity is its rich liturgical life, characterized by elaborate rituals, icons, and the use of the Byzantine rite. Additionally, Eastern Christians celebrate significant feasts, such as Pascha (Easter) and Christmas, with unique customs that reflect their cultural heritage and theological perspectives.
