Orthodox Tradition refers to the beliefs, practices, and rituals of the Eastern Orthodox Church, which is one of the oldest branches of Christianity. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining the teachings and practices established by the Apostles and the early Church. This tradition is characterized by its rich liturgical life, including the use of icons, sacraments, and the celebration of the Divine Liturgy. Central to Orthodox Tradition is the concept of Holy Tradition, which encompasses both Scripture and the teachings of the Church Fathers. This tradition is preserved through the community of believers and is expressed in various forms, such as theology, art, and music, reflecting the faith's deep historical roots and spiritual depth.
