- Tewahedo Orthodox Church, which consists of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church as well as the Eritrean Orthodox Church, both in the African continent.
Construction of the Hagia Sofia (6th Century)
The Church of the Holy Wisdom, or Hagia Sophia,[2] was constructed in Constantinople, what is now Istanbul.
The Hagia Sophia was to the Eastern Orthodox faithful as Saint Peter's Cathedral in Rome is to the Roman Catholic faithful.
The Spread of the Eastern Orthodox Faith to Eastern Europe
Monasticism as well missionary activities began to develop, primarily in Eastern Europe.
In the 9th century, Bulgaria became an Eastern Orthodox nation and neighboring nations began to follow Bulgaria's conversion.[2]
