SerbischOrthodoxe

The term "serbischorthodoxe" refers to Serbian Orthodoxy, which is the second oldest autocephalous Orthodox Church in the world, with the first being the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople. It is part of the Eastern Orthodox Church and follows the Nicene Creed. The Serbian Orthodox Church's origins can be traced back to the 9th century, with its establishment and significant influence growing in the medieval Serbian state.

The Church's jurisdiction primarily covers Serbs and Orthodox Christians living in Serbia, Montenegro, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. It also has eparchies (dioceses) and communities in other parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and Western Europe, to serve the Serbian diaspora. The Church is organized into various eparchies, each headed by a bishop. The head of the Serbian Orthodox Church is the Patriarch, who resides in Belgrade, Serbia.

Key aspects of Serbian Orthodoxy include its rich liturgical tradition, which is based on Byzantine rites, and its distinct artistic heritage, particularly in church architecture and icon painting. Monasteries have played a crucial role in preserving Serbian culture, language, and faith throughout history. The Church celebrates its feast days according to the Julian calendar, though some eparchies may use the Revised Julian calendar for fixed feasts. The Serbian Orthodox Church maintains communion with other autocephalous Eastern Orthodox Churches.
