	Orthodox Eastern Church - LoveToKnow 1911
		The Eastern creeds may thus be roughly placed in two classes - the oecumenical creeds of the early undivided church, and later testimonies defining the position of the Orthodox Church of the East with regard to the belief of the Roman Catholic and of Protestant Churches.
		In the East, as in Scotland, the history of the church is the key to the history of the nation, and in the freedom of the church the Greek saw the freedom and supremacy of his race.
		For this very reason Orthodox Eastern Christians of alien race felt compelled to resist Greek domination by means of independent ecclesiastical organization, and the structure of the church rather favoured than interfered with the coexistence of separate national churches professing the same faith.

	What is the Eastern Orthodox Church
		The term "orthodox" was used in olden times to define the faith of the Church against the heresies which arose for a while denying mainly the truth of the Holy Trinity, which the "heterodox" holds, and thus the term "Orthodox" became the chief title of the Church.
		The Church is "Holy" because it is the sacred Institution for the sanctification of its faithful by the Holy Spirit.
		Orthodox Christians also believe that it is the eternally divine and perfect Son of God who was born as a man from the Virgin Mary and lived on the earth as Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah (Christ) of Israel and the Savior of the world.

		The dates of the festivals vary somewhat between the Western (Roman Catholic, Anglican, and Protestant) church and the Eastern (Orthodox) church, though the sequence and logic is the same.
		The extent to which the fasts and festivals are celebrated also varies between churches; in general Protestant churches observe far fewer of them than Catholic and Orthodox churches, and in particular are less likely to celebrate feasts of the Virgin Mary and the Saints.
		From 1900 until 2100, there is a thirteen-day difference between the Julian and the Gregorian Calendar, which is used in most of the world as well as in Eastern Orthodox countries for civil purposes.

		The Antiochian Orthodox Church, The Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia, and the Holy Orthodox Catholic and Apostolic Church of America (formerly connected with the Vicar Bishop of the (Western) Orthodox Church of France-ECOF), all have Western Rite parishes.
		An example of this is the lack of communion between the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR) and the Moscow Patriarchate (the Orthodox Church of Russia) dating from the 1920s and due to the subjection of the latter to the hostile soviet regime.

		In the Julian calendar every fourth year was a leap-year, which gave an average length to the calendar year of 365 days 6 hours, which is more than 11 minutes greater than the length of the tropical year.
		The new calendar is more accurate than the Gregorian, the average length of whose year differs by 24 or 25 seconds from the length of the tropical year.

	Eastern Orthodox liturgical calendar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Eastern Orthodox liturgical calendar describes and dictates the rhythm of the life of the Eastern Orthodox Church.
		Associated with each date are passages of Holy Scripture, Saints and events for commemoration, and many times special rules for fasting or feasting that correspond to the day of the week or time of year in relationship to the major feast days.
		Fixed feasts happen on the same calendar day every year, while movable feasts change each year; they are generally relative to Pascha, which date is itself recalculated each year.
