Orthodoxion

Orthodoxion, also spelled Orthodoxion or Orthodoxion, is a term derived from the Greek word "orthodoxos," meaning "rightly believing" or "correctly believing." It refers to the official teachings, doctrines, and practices of the Eastern Orthodox Church. The term is often used to describe the collective body of beliefs and practices that are considered essential to Orthodox Christian faith and practice.

The Orthodoxion encompasses a wide range of topics, including the nature of God, the Trinity, the Incarnation, the Holy Spirit, the sacraments, the liturgy, and the role of the Church. It is based on the teachings of the early Church Fathers, the Ecumenical Councils, and the traditions of the Eastern Orthodox Church.

The Orthodoxion is distinct from the teachings of other Christian denominations, such as the Roman Catholic Church and the various Protestant traditions. While there are some similarities, such as the belief in the Trinity and the sacraments, there are also significant differences in doctrine and practice.

The Orthodoxion is an important aspect of Orthodox Christian identity and is reflected in the liturgy, the iconography, and the spiritual life of the Eastern Orthodox Church. It is also a subject of ongoing debate and discussion among Orthodox theologians and scholars.
