| | The Orthodox Church considers the Old Testament (Septuagint) to a lesser degree of importance with the exception of the Psalms (which are a part of daily services) and the prophecies leading up to the incarnation of Christ. | | | Eastern Orthodox Christianity (also called Greek Orthodox and Russian Orthodox) is the modern name of the original Christian church founded by Christ Jesus and the Apostles nearly 2000 years ago. | | | In the 11th century the Great Schism took place between Rome and Constantinople, which led to the Church of the West, the Roman Catholic Church, to become distinct from the Churches of the East. |
