Eastern Orthodoxy traces its roots to the time of the Gospels.
Contents
Chalcedonian Schism (5th Century)
Primarily due to differing viewpoints of the dogmatic definitions from the Council of Chalcedon in 451, the Oriental Orthodox broke away from the Eastern Orthodox faith. The Oriental Orthodox Faiths are the following: [1]
- Indian Orthodox Church (Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church)
- Syriac Orthodox Church or Syriac Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch and All the East
- Armenian Catholicosate of the Great House of Cilicia
- 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 (9th Century)
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] )
Schism with the Roman Catholic Faith (11th Century)
History tends to place 1054 as the date of the schism between the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church.
However, the two churches were developing differences in certain specific beliefs for ages.[2]
The Ottoman Empire's Rule over Constantinople (15th century)
With the Ottoman Empire's invasion of the Byzantium Empire, the Hagia Sofia was converted into a mosque in 1453.
With the exception of one Divine Liturgy in 1919 during the British, French, Italian, and Greek occupation of Istanbul after the fall of the Ottoman Empire, the building has been a mosque or a museum to this day (2023).[3]
