Eastern Christianity
Eastern Christianity is Christian traditions and churches that developed in the Balkans, Eastern Europe, Asia Minor, the Middle East, the Horn of Africa, India, and parts of the Far East over several centuries of religious antiquity.
Eastern Christianity comprises church families that developed outside the Occident, with major bodies including the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Oriental Orthodox churches, the Eastern Catholic churches (that are in communion with Rome but still maintain Eastern liturgies), and the denominations descended from the Church of the East.
