What are the major differences between Eastern and Western Orthodox Christianities?
score:7
Accepted answer
Big question! Here is my source:
- The culture - The East is familiar to Greek, Russian and Arabic languages/cultures, and the West is more familiar to Americans and English languages/cultures
- The Clergy Vestments
- The Liturgy/Mass - The East primarily uses the Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom, and the West primarily uses the Liturgy of Saint Gregory the Great.
- The East has an Iconostasis ("Icon Wall") separating the Sanctuary from the rest of the church, and the West either has a rail (like the old Roman Catholic style) or nothing at all separating the Sanctuary from the rest of the church
